Location : Chalnakhel, Nepal
Date : 20 March 2017
Altitude : 4700 ft.
Plant description, altitude and flowering season does not 
completely matches with Senecio scandens Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don (accepted name) according to the FoI and FoN.
I also feel these are closer to images at 
So is it Senecio scandens Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don ?
Phyllaries and the leaf pattern looks different than S. scandens in this sp.
Any opinion ...?

Even corolla pattern looks different.
Yes, this one and MS March, 2019 Senecio sp. for Id look different, from other posts at Senecio scandens
You have to check other closely related species.
I tried all species as per Checklist of Nepal, but could not find a match.

Appears similar to the plant posted by … and identified as Senecio wightii (DC.) Benth. ex C.B.Clarke

Specimen2
I think it does not completely match, especially corolla pattern and leaf joins to stem and also not listed in Nepal so far !
I have no doubt that it is the same plant as at MS March, 2019 Senecio sp. for Id
It is listed in Bhutan. So it is possible that it may be found in Nepal also.
OK ...! I have to research further if it turns out to be a new sp. for Nepal !
