Definitely some Senecio sp.
 
Chamba High.. al170811a: This one reminds me of the Senecio family.. am I on the right track...
Location Chamba
Altitude 3500 mts
Habit herb
Habitat wild
Plant height 20 inches approx
Is it Jacobaea raphanifolia but the leaves looked like Senecio graciliflorus...
This species is not reported from Western Himalayas.
It is a species of Senecio for sure. Even a few species now placed under Jacobaea (incl. J. raphanifolia) were formerly placed under Senecio. The above plant from head size and leaves may perhaps be Senecio
jacquemontianus, but this needs to be confirmed.
... This seems very different from what I thought to be Senecio jacquemontianus.... attaching that file too..
You may be right about your this plant being S. jacquemontianus. Your first plant has to be explored further.
You pics no *080511_1118.jpg may also be cremanthodium arnicoides*
*Firstly posted may be Senecio chrysanthemoides
The first plant is closer to S. chrysanthemoides which shows a lot of variation. I have also photographed similar plant from Gulmarg, which I initially (but wrongly) thought S. jacquemontianus, but thanks to.... I have still to fix it, refraining to call it S. chrysanthemoides because heads are about 2.5 cm across, whereas they are scarcely exceeding 1.5 cm in S. chrysanthemoides
The second plant clearly belongs to Ligularia section of former Senecio. I can't count more than 8-10 ligules, so it can't be S. arnicoides (now Cremanthodium arnicoides) which has larger heads (often 6 cm across) and 15-30 ligules. Closest is S. jacquemontianus which has 12-15 ligules. In this genus and other side close up is very important, because involucre bracts number is crucial in species identification.
 
SENECIO GRAHAMI: THIS IS USE FOR WORSHIP IN OUR REGION FOR NAGPANCHMI FESTIVAL, ACCORDING TO COMMON NAME I HAVE FIND NAME SENECIO GRAHAMI PLEASE VALIDATE
Not Agree with Senecio grahami

It look likes some Senecio species (may be S. dalzelli ?) 
 
Senecio sp??? for ID- 07072012-PKA2:  Seen this Asteraceae herb en-route Srinagar from Sonmarg.
Date/Time: 23-09-2011 / 10:30AM
Habitat: Wild
Plant Habit: Herb.
Leaves are not very clear but from few upper ones, looks like S. nudicaulis. Lateral view of head should help.
Thanks ... for the lead. Let me see if i can dig out few more pics..

VoF Week :: DV :: 02 AUG 12 - 1214 :: ¿ Senecio ? at Valley of Flowers: 2 AUG 12
Valley of Flowers ... about 11700 ft
Habitat: sloping meadow
Habit: herb, about 80 cm high; long slender stem with leaves at far distance; flower about 3 cm across
... apologies - only these photos ... happy with ID to genus level.
Pls Pics of leaves if any
Senecio sp.
Could not get to leaves of this plant. Next trip I hope to.
Many thanks ... for validating the genus.

VoF Week :: DV :: 31 JUL 12 - 1228 :: Senecio ¿ raphanifolius ? at Auli:  31 JUL 12
Auli ... 8750 - 9000 ft
Habitat: sloping meadow
Habit: herb about 40 - 50 cm high, flower 20 - 25 mm across (not sure, could be lesser)
The most crucial feature identifying S. raphanifolius is reddish brown pappus. Perhaps a fruiting head would have helped. Also the species is very near to S. chrysanthemoides and also differentiated by 12-16 ray florets as against 8-12 in S. chrysanthemoides. I can count mostly 9-12.

Vof Week: Senecio raphanifolius or Senecio chrysanthemoides from Valley:
Senecio raphanifolius or Senecio chrysanthemoides from Valley
i can count 13 ray florets in one flower
as per flora of Chamoli S chrysanthemoides is tall glabrous herb pappus white
And S raphanifolius is robust glabrous herb pappus red
I thin none of us has taken pics of fruiting head this time.
How can this confusion can be cleared

VOF Week: Asteraceae herb for id from the Valley: This was shot from the valley.. can this be Senecio laetus??? I fear these are the only pics with me...
I don't think so, although open heads should help. I don't see any ray florets.

Looking at unopened heads to me it looks like Senecio sp of section Ligularia.
Sorry I had no other picture of this plant in flowering stage. Although I have pictures of Ligularia and I will upload them also in seperate thread.
