Thanks Pankaj ji Our Dakpathar plant had much broader lower leaves, it grew to more than 2 m and apex was suddenly contracted into a tail like inflorescence, which as you can see is with long white hairs on axis and flowers not really distichous, some what evently distributed.
Our near Kalsi plant is much shorter with shorter with short compact inflorescence with clearly distichous flowers, also the axis is not long hairy. This plant rather resembles illustration on eFlora of Pakistan more.
