PLANT FOR ID 169 SMP NOV 2009 : 10 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (1) Again from Mahabaleshwar Nov 09............ Appears to be commonly observed but often neglected from ID point of view. A guess, Sonchus arvensis Earlier guessed by me to be Sonchus arvensis, but leaves have a different texture. I think this belongs to genus Gynura.... This looks like Gynura sp. (Asteraceae Family). Yes ... Try to fit in G. angulosa now correctly known as G. cusimbua I think ... is right. Pl. see http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=121445&flora_id=2 Or can it be Gynura amplexicaulis, a new record for India (recently published) ? Do anyone know the difference between Gynura amplexicaulis & Gynura cusimbua ?

Kindly see the link belowhttp://www.indianaturewatch.net/displayimage.php?id=109007 I think it matches with Gynura cusimbua (D. Don) S. Moore (syn. Gynura angulosa Candolle) as per http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=121445&flora_id=2 Or can it be Gynura amplexicaulis, a new record for India (recently published) ? Do anyone know the difference between Gynura amplexicaulis & Gynura cusimbua ?
