Asteraceae Fortnight Part 3-Ligulate Heads: Launaea for id from Shimla-NS 11 : Attachments (4). 7 posts by 3 authors.

This one was shot from Shimla-Chail Road in November 2010..

earlier id response was Launaea procumbens..

Wanted to confirm the id please..

efi page on Launaea procumbens

May be Launea secunda

I could not find Launaea procumbens Roxb. in Flora Indica.

There is one, Prenanthes procumbens Roxb., which is a native of Bengal (FI. iii. 404), which is L. nudicaulis Less. of FBI and Bengal Plants, which is unresolved in KEW, looks similar to Brachyramphus obtusus DC., syn. of Launaea nudicaulis (L.) Hook.f. of KEW,

and

which further is 1) Launaea procumbens (Roxb.) Amin of KEW, 2) Launaea procumbens (Roxburgh) Ramayya & Rajagopal of FoC, 3) Launaea fallax (Jaubert & Spach) Kuntze of IIIM

In Launaea secunda Clarke, heads are "1/3 inch long narrow in subsessile racemed subsecund clusters, as in - http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/getImage.do?imageBarcode=K000808056 (source - http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/detailsQuery.do?imageId=384399&pageCode=1&presentPage=1&queryId=1&sessionId=1F574B474092F3C1B35102383AD07452&barcode=K000808056)

Any other difference between L. secunda Clarke and L. nudicaulis Less.?
