Lactuca brunoniana

Lactuca brunoniana (DC.) Wall. ex C.B.Clarke, (syn: Cicerbita brunoniana (Wall. ex C.B.Clarke) tuisl. ex Rech.f.; Prenanthes alliariifolia DC.; Prenanthes brunoniana Wall. ex DC.; Prenanthes hispidula DC.; Prenanthes raphanifolia DC.) as per Catalogue of Life
  
Himalayan Rattlesnake Root, Brown's Rattlesnake Root;
 
The inflorescence has numerous heads on a branched axis (panicle) and each head has 3-4 flowers (florets--structures with red base and white upper part. in fact they are ray florets).

Flora Simlensis and Flora of Mussoorie describe only two species as per following Key
1. leaves ovate or triangular, not variable, heads few, solitary or subsolitary, on long stalks: P. violaefolia
2. leaves variable, heads many in terminal panicles: P brunoniana
from Flora Simlensis
Stems 1-6 ft heads numerous, panicled leaves of various shape: P brunoniana
stems 12-18 inch heads few solitary long stalked leaves always triangular: P violaefolia
Description From Flora of Mussoorie
description of P. brononiana: herb, .3-2 mt, often diffuse, leaves very variable, alternate long petiolate, lanceolate or triangular, base cordate or truncate, toothed or sinuate, often 3 lobed or pinnatifid with variously cut and toothed lobes, heads ligulate, many in terminal panicles, flowers 3-5 in a head, purple or white, achenes not beaked, papus of hairs. flowers Oct-Nov, Dist. West Himalaya 1800-2700 mts
from Flora Simlensis
Smooth or rough, sometimes glandular, especially on the inflorescence and nerves of the leaves, Stem 1-6ft, simple or branched, Stalks long or short, slender, naked or winged, their bases sometimes dilated or lobed:, blade 4-8 in or more, lanceolate or triangular, cordate or truncate, toothed or sinuate, often pinnatifid, with large or small, variously cut and toothed lobes.

Wild Flowers for ID : 021011 : AK-3: Very tiny flowers taken along the roadside on the way back from Gulmarg to Srinagar,on the 11th of Sept,11. 
I had seen bunches of some yellow flowers like Senecio..... so went to picture those and found these tiny flowers close by. Very difficult to locate from a distance.

Prenanthes sp., leaves needed for species identification
I found this picture with leaves.
Will this help in further identifying the wild flowers although picture is not too good.
Prenanthes brunoniana

It was resolved to be from Asteraceae when I had posted on group, and further id could not be established..

It may be some species of Prenanthus (Asteraceae).

When I found this I thought it to be a Cicerbita or a Lactuca species but I cannot find a match. Please advise.
Above Mcleodganj, HP 2000m approx. 25 September 2016
I think Prenanthes sp.
Thank you again ... A quick look at yours, ... and ... posts at efloraofindia suggests my plant to be P. violaefolia. But the FOI shows a very different plant under Lactuca violaefolia, which I had seen on my trek at 3200m and has leaves closer to those of violas. Please advise.
The suggestion of Prenanthes is sound (which some consider some of the species to be Lactuca).
Lactuca brunoniana (sy. Prenanthes brunoniana) is very common on forest borders or in thin forest @ 1200-3000m in Kashmir & parts of N.Pakistan and was common in woods at Shimla, so if it is the correct suggestion genus-wise, this is a good candidate but needs checking. 
Pl. see comparative images with keys at Prenanthes
There is a lot of confusion in the keys as well as the postings.
Hope some throws more light to bring clarity to our images at Prenanthes
Similar to my specimen of Prenanthes brunoniana from Dalhousie...
Thank you ... I am collecting more evidence for it but think we have the same plant.
I took more photos of plants at about 2000-2100m altitude. The leaves are very variable as can be seen in these photos. The flowers have three white ligules without any red at the base. The plants are much branched with numerous flower heads. These seem to confirm the P. brunoniana suggested by ... Please advise.
I photographed plants with all leaves hastate/cordate but similar flowers at higher altitudes which I will post separately.

The only thing worrying me is that P. brunoniana is generally a taller plant and there are numerous heads forming a panicle. Here we have few heads like in P. violaefolia. Please compare with image appended by you. The leaves, however, do not match P. violaefolia. I am uploading my herbarium sheets of two for comparison.
Sir Confusing situation
Is this a new species of Preannthes means Cicerbita
It does not match well with both herbarium Specimen
It looks me Prenanthus brunoniana

Kalatope id al260911a:  A beautiful flower, for which I have been waiting since last year (because my photos were not too good earlier)
Location Kalatope, Chamba
Altitude 2100 mts
Habit herb
Habitat wild
Height 30 inches
season Sept-Oct

May be Prenanthes sp., please mention plant height, number of heads in an inflorescence to conclude further.
Did not think of counting them at that time sir... but looking at the images there are generally about 3-4 flowers together.. the height of the plant was as mentioned earlier about 30 inches (give or take a few inches)
I can count several heads in this photograph. I think Prenanthes brunoniana now considered synonym of Lactuca brunoniana
Agreed Sir
yes I counted today 3-4 in each bunch and each branch had 13-14 flowers ...
your counting is not appropriate. The inflorescence has numerous heads on a branched axis (panicle) and each head has 3-4 flowers (florets--structures with red base and white upper part. in fact they are ray florets).

Prenanthes sp.? ABOCT2016/05 : 3 posts by 2 authors. 9 images.
These plants have cordate/ hastate leaves with winged stalks and with only a little variation in leaf shape, but the flowers are similar to the other Prenanthes I posted here before. Please advise.

Lactuca brunoniana (Syn. Prenanthes brunoniana, Cicerbita brunoniana)
 
VOF Week: Herb for id from Valley of Flowers:  This one is I think similar observation as ... have
uploaded....yet to be resolved..I am uploading mine pics..hope to get ideas..
Yes ..., all aspects are ditto.
Perhaps an example of (if it turns out true) how better and well illustrated photographs help in identification.
I hope Prenanthes violaefolia.
My herbarium from Kashmir

 ... would like to know what are two structures that we see.
Am I mistaking the pinkish to be flowers, and the green to be fruits ?
Green is the flower bud. The pink ones are bracts.
On further consideration I think there is some thing wrong with the above identification, as also identification of my Herbarium specimen from Kashmir. The leaves are different from true Prenanthes violaefolia (now Cicerbita violaefolia).
The search is still on for true ID
Yes, ... On seeing Prenanthes violaefolia at FOI, I got the feeling it could not be ID of this plant.
If the buds are Ok, it may be Prenanthes brunoniana as the leaves are highly variable & match with the leaves posted by Ashwini ji on 8.10.16 in another thread.


Sharing these pics from valley of flowers.. please help to id..
as the flowers are not open, seems difficult to reach to any conclusion..
early feedback was Prenanthes violaefolia ..
please share your opinion..

Sharing some pictures for ID shot at Chandragiri Hill Kathmandu on 19 September 2016 at 8200 ft.
Appears like Prenanthes species (pl. check comparative images).
Does not seem match with any of two Prenanthes recorded in Nepal as per the link and book
However, I guess it is Prenanthes as suggested by you.
Need help from experts.
I think it should be Prenanthes brunoniana as per keys in another thread.
Thank you ... I guess flower and stamen colors may vary.
The accepted name is Lactuca brunoniana (DC.) Wall. ex C.B.Clarke ??
Accepted ID is Melanoseris brunoniana (Wall. ex DC.) N.Kilian & Ze H.Wang !

Please help me to identify this plant
Plant from Shimla district, Himachal Pradesh. Elevation approximately 3000 MTR.
Growing wild. Blooming in 17 September 19

Thanks and Welcome, ...  I know the plant quite well, but unable to recall the id, right now. Appears to be from Asteraceae
Lactuca brunoniana (DC.) Wall. ex C.B.Clarke
Thank you for your help. In my image the flower only has three petals but the species suggested by you has more than three petals as per Flowers of India and other internet images. Kindly guide
Pl. check with observations at
Prenanthes brunoniana in FOI : 3 posts by 2 authors.
Images of Prenanthes brunoniana in FOI are actually of Lactuca violifolia and not of Lactuca brunoniana as per keys and details herein.
Pl. correct.
Thanks ...!
Actually two plants are mixed up on that page. Second picture is of Lactuca violifolia. Lactuca violifolia is a much smaller plant, only a foot tall or so, contrasting to a meter tall Lactuca brunoniana
Yes. OK now.
