Common name: China Aster ASTERACEAE Fortnight Part-I Radiate Heads May 1-14: Callistephus chinensis for validation from Uttarakhand_DSR_49 : Attachments (4). 4 posts by 3 authors. This is an occasional ornamental in Pantnagar to which I suspect as Callistephus chinensis. Kindly validate or otherwise. The last picture ( DSR_4.JPG) is one of the Chinese asters, C.chinensis for sure. I have this plant in my house. The other pictures also look like varieties of C.chinensis only. The species has considerable number of varieties in different colours. References: |
