Nidhan: oh, but Elephantopus scaber is elephants foot, isn't it?
*But ayurvedic books i currently have list Onosma bracteatum *Wall. (Boraginaceae) as Gojvha ,,,, but i distinctly remember trying to id a yellow flower on a branched herb like the one shown in this thread, I had found some old books of indian flora published in uk with handtinted drawings that had this plant and a name go-jivha... i need to see if i can find atleast a xerox copy if saved... colloquial names can be quite confusing...
