Thanks Surajit for this further exploration. This plant is very commonly
cultivated in Delhi and often runs wild and may be found on garbage dumps
or waste places. When I came to Delhi in 1975, some one introduced this
plant to me as Viguieria helianthoides, and this went on for many years
till a few years back when I identified it as Helianthus debilis. It is
good that you mentioned subspecies cucumerifolius, and after seeing key in
eflora of N. America, I realised that plant grown in Delhi is actually this
one only.
Thanks once again for update.
