White Leaved Cudweed; Attachments (2). 1 post by 1 author. Pseudognaphalium hypoleucum (syn: Gnaphalium hypoleucum) photographed from Manali A mystery flower... Kalatope id al260511a: Found this plant next to the previous query (by the roadside) I have sent today... did not notice it flowering..?? Location Kalatope, chamba Altitude 2100 mts Habit herb Habitat wild/roadside Plant height 9 inches I think Gamochaeta purpurea (= Gnaphalium purpureum). Tropicos treats Gamochaeta purpurea (L.) Cabrera under the synonymy of Gamochaeta americana (Mill.) Wedd., whereas The Plant List treats them separately. Your mystery plant is not Gamochaeta purpurea, earlier described under the names Gnaphalium purpureum or G. pennsylvanicum (some times treated distinct Gamochochaeta purpurea and G. pennsylanica as per GRIN or one species Gamochaeta purpurea as per Kew List). That plant grows commonly in Delhi and uploaded by me at FOI. It has leaves which are velvety on both sides, though much more sensely below. http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Pennsylvania%20Cudweed.htm Your plant has leaves which are clearly green on upper surface, a feature of Gnaphalium hypoleucum (still under the same genus) Cudweed? ABAUG2016/49 : 9 posts by 3 authors. 3 images. This one is from yesterday. I found it at 2100m. It looks like a cudweed. Please help with the ID. Above Dharamshala, HP 2100m 18 August 2016. Pl. check with Amaranthus blitum ? Thanks ... This seems possible but my pictures are perhaps not sufficient to show all characteristics. From what I can see from my photos, the leaves have no stalks and inflorescence happening predominantly at the top. This is a Gnaphalium sp. as ... have pointed out..!! Thank you ... I am looking at the keys but haven't reached a positive ID yet. I am hiking up today and will try to see the plant more closely. Thanks, ...
