Calyptocarpus has low growing, procumbent to ascending, mat forming habit often rooting at nodes, rarely rising more than 15 cm, Synedrella tall erect habit up to 80 cm tall. 2. Leaves the most crucial are not longer than 3 cm, pale green, thinner, faint 3 basal vein and broadly ovate. In contrast leaves of Synedrella are longer than 3 cm, dark green in colour, more prominent basal veins and ovate to elliptic in shape. Apart from trailing habit and smaller leaves I don't find any consistent character. Both (Calyptocarpus vialis and Synedrella nodiflora) may or may not have three basal veins, heads may be more than one in both. Synedrella: Plants annual, erect or ascending, not rooting at nodes; heads aggregated; disc florets 4-12; cypsellae of ray florets with lacerate winged margins. Calyptocarpus: Perennial, prostrate or decumbent, rooting at nodes; heads solitary at each node; disc florets 10-20; cypsellae of ray florets not winged
Confusion between Calyptocarpus vialis and Synedrella nodiflora solved (for me atleast). Perhaps no two plants are as confused by most of us as these two. Many differentiate the two by prominent three veins from base, but they occur in both although thinner in Calyptocarpus. Heads of two look similar, involucre bracts of Calyptocarpus are 4 in two whorls, In Synedrella they range from 2-5 and may be in one or two whorls. Achenes are with two diverging awns in Calyptocarpus, in Synedrella most florets (disc) have similar 2-awned achenes although few (fertile ray) have achenes with scales (which you are likely to miss. Thank you very very much ... for this clarity. Will check my uploads at flickr and eFI soon and do any necessary correction. Thanks a lot ... i used to wonder for elongated stalk of inflorescence, in some Synedrella! but i was looking Calyptocarpus- which was not taught to me. Wonderful experience!In … post at Synedrella nodiflora :: Yeoor Hills, part of SGNP :: 29 DEC 19 , one can see a few flowering heads on long peduncles. So the following portion of the key has to go away: "All heads in Synedrella are in sessile clusters, but in Calytocarpus there are always a few on long peduncles bearing solitary head, in addition to several sessile in cluster" Here are characters I have uploaded on Facebook Groups last month Calyptocarpus vialis: prostrate perennial herb, rooting at nodes; leaves ovate, 2-4 cm long; heads usually solitary on up to 15 mm long peduncle; heads 6-7 mm long, achenes 3-4 mm long, oblanceolate, with two spreading awns in ray florets as well disc florets. Synedrella nodiflora: erect or ascending annual herb; leaves elliptic, 3-10cm long, heads usually 2-4 together, sessile or subsessile; heads more than 1 cm long; achenes dimorphic, those of disc florets like Calyptocarpus vialis but narrower, those of ray florets with triangular scales. I don't find any distinctly pedunculate head in … upload, they may be subsessile. Based on above discussion and comparative images I think the upload by ... as Synedrella nodiflora is actually Calyptocarpus vialis, upload by ... is alright. Thanks, … Pl. see the last image by … at Synedrella nodiflora :: Yeoor Hills, part of SGNP :: 29 DEC 19 ... the last image at that … requests you to see in my post: Synedrella nodiflora :: Yeoor Hills, part of SGNP :: 29 DEC 19 is clickable and will lead to photopage in flickr. Further clicking on the photo on that page will zoom it and you will be able to pan the photo for details. I think you may have to re-asses your images from Yeoor Hills. Whereas your image on Flowers of India seems alright, the images here show ray florets on longer stalks, plus longer peduncle as pointed out by ... Both eFlora of China and eFlora of North America clearly mention sessile to subsessile heads in this species. Yours does not look like Calyptocarpus vialis as leaves are clearly different, more like Synedrella nodiflora. Thanks very much …, Yes, images from Yeoor Hills posted at Synedrella nodiflora :: Yeoor Hills, part of SGNP :: 29 DEC 19 are labelled as Synedrella nodiflora. It is just as you are asserting. I hope there is no confusion. Thank you ..., You are right. The prostrate hairs on the leaves seen in the picture by ..., is another indicator that it could rather be Calyptocarpus vialis. The species is corrected on the site now: On the other hand, the two images sent by you to FOI, as Calyptocarpus vialis (attached here), appear to be of Synedrella nodiflora.
request for identification - 03012011PC1: Are all the five photos those of Calyptocarpus vialis? Found growing wild in JNU campus. Very small herb, growing to a height of 12 cm. Mostly procumbent but some erect branches are present. In the first three photos two heads are present together and the serrations in the leaves are not distinct. In the last two photos (from a different patch) heads are smaller, appear to be present singly and the serrations are more distinct.

Calyptocarpus vialis from Delhi, I hope all are correctly identified. I could not distinguish between Calyptocarpus vialis and Synedrella nodiflora...so similar they are..if anyone has any distinguishing features, please share.. The flowersofindia site mentions A prominent difference is that the leaves of Cinderella Weed have 3 parallel veins http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Straggler%20Daisy.html Also I found the pdf file attached helpful to understand the differences. You will have to scroll 6 pgs down to see these plants in the file. Thanks Sir for the pdf file, got few points..clarity needs actual examination..hope to find them both soon.. Kindly highlight the significant differences, which would be helpful for all. Apart from trailing habit and smaller leaves I don't find any consistent character. Both may or may not have three basal veins, heads may be more than one in both. Frankly from photographs I am never confident about these two species.

I had identified all the posted pics as Synedrella nodiflora... hereby enclosing different pics from Chakrata, Dalhousie and Morni (name of the place suffixed after every picture).... I was sure for them to be S. nodiflora, until I had seen Calyptocarpus vialis.....kindly validate/correct.. I am confused. For me thie photographs look like Calyptocarpus vialis. As our expert ... has said it is always very confusing. Nevertheless, the flowers are very small and petioles are also almost nil in Synedrella nodiflora.

Requesting to please ID this shrub captured in Lalbagh, Bangalore in November 2013. Looks like Calyptocarpus vialis (Straggler daisy) (syn. Synedrella vialis). Some times difficult to distinguish the species from Synedrella nodiflora. Hence carefully check the characters and then decide the species.. Thank you ... again and thanks to ... as well for the ID...
This sub-erect herb was shot from Chakrata area.. I am inclined to place this under Calyptocarpus vialis (until I came to know of this taxon, I treated this as nothing else but Synedrella nodiflora, but now I am confused).. Please give your opinion.. I think yes. Requesting to please validate ID of this ground covering plant from the Kangra fort near Dharamshala, HP in October 2014. I hope this is Calyptocarpus vialis. It is straggler's daisy/ horse herb: Calyptocarpus vialis (syn Synedrella vialis, Synedrellopsis grisebachii ).
