Pateshwar in Satara ... about 2700 - 3300 ft asl
... Hill covered with semi-evergreen forest
Date & time: September 8, 2012 at 3.40pm
Habitat: along forest path; not sure whether planted or growing wild
Altitude: about 3000 ft asl
Habit: herb about 1 m high, flower bud 10 - 12 mm across
It seem to be a species of Gynura but since the heads are are not open I cannot be sure.
I think it may be Gynura bicolor (Roxb. ex Willd.) DC. as per keys at as per efi thread
