Sending photos of some Blumea sp.

Plant about 70 cm tall, aromatic, flowers as seen in photos, annual in waste places.

Collected from Pantnagar, Uttarakhand (msl 250 mt)

I have seen similar plant in Delhi, which I have identified as Blumea laciniata.

Thanks sir for the id

Looks different from other images at Blumea sinuata (Lour.) Merr.

Appears close to images at Blumea balsamifera (L.) DC.
