(From PFAF on 17.6.13) ASTERACEAE Fortnight Part 2-Discoid heads Jurinella macrocephala from Uttarakhand_DSR_22: Attachments (1). 4 posts by 4 authors. Jurinella macrocephata (Royle) Aswal et Goel [=Jurinea macrocephala Royle; Jurinea dolomiaea Boiss.] is a frequent alpine perennial forming large rosettes. Known as ‘Dhoop’ or ‘Dhoop Lakkad’ its rootstock is burnt in Havans. Reproduced from my old optical picture taken in Rudranath alpine area Uttarakhand in 1995 Thanks ... Collected a lot but no photograph yet.
Jurinea macrocephala - Dhoop- enroute Dhel Pass - GHNP - PKA7 : 6 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (5). Seen this prostrate, stemless herb en-route Dhel Pass at an altitude of approx. 3800m. Bot. name: Jurinea macrocephala Local name: Dhup, Guggal Dhup Family: Asteraceae I think yes. Yes a very distinctive plant in the alpine meadows. A very good find ... thanks for showing..
I found many of these rosettes growing about 4000m and above but found flowers growing on only this plant. I think this is Dolomiaea macrocephala. Please advise me if I am making a mistake. Dolomiaea macrocephala Above Lahaish Cave, Towards Indrahar Pass, Dharamshala, HP 4000m and above 28-29 July 2017 Superb images, ... I do not remember having seen such a plant earlier. Yes it looks like Jurinella macrocephala (Asteraceae). Rosette of leaves is yet not mature and some larger leaves are browsed by animals(?). Complete rosette is quite characteristic and can readily be identified. Please see this plant in eFI. Two species of Dolomiaea DC. genus are known in India as per BSI information (Karthikeyan et al 2009) 1. D. baltalensis Dar & Naqshi known from Kashmir 2. D. cooperi (J.Anthony) Ling known from Eastern Himalaya Their distribution is not matching with this record! The plant here looks to me closer to Jurinella macrocephala (Royle) Aswal & Goel (=Dolomiaea macrocephala Royle; Jurinea macrocephala (Royle) C.B.Clarke; Jurinea himalaica R.R.Stewart). This species is widespread in Central and Western Himalaya and this record matches with distribution. In eFI we have kept it under the name Jurinea dolomiaea. Thank you ... once again for explaining this. I saw several larger rosettes but since they didn’t have flowers yet (or I failed to spot them in my tiredness), I didn’t get images of them. Perhaps, I will get to go and see the plant again some time soon. Plant ID Gugal Dhoop : 2 images. This plant is called Gugal. Grows at 3800-4000mts Uttarakhand Himalayas. Collected from Gidara Bugyal. Isn't Guggul Dhoop is made from Commiphora wightii ? which is not the same plant ! No sir This is not the traditional one. Mostly any plant here that has an exudate incense is called dhoop or gugal. I was thinking of Tanectun species but wanted to confirm Second photograph is of Jurinea dolomiaea commonly called as Dhoop First photograph is also of Jurinea dolomiaea in the centre.
