Name That Plant!

Plant 8

10 years ago

Hi again!

Need ID on this plant #8. Has many tiny magenta colored flowers, with white buds when unopened. Barely any leaves at the top area. No fruits so far I think. A not so short weed growing wildly through cracks, in Malaysia.

Sorry I couldn't get a better shot because I was trying my best to steady the camera while going in an odd position to get near it

Perhaps a species of Emilia.

Vernonia cinerea?

I think it is Emilia sonchifolia.

That one has mostly clasping or perfoliate leaves near the inflorescence.

Thanks everyone! Its the Little Ironweed, I guess I should have focused the camera more on the flowers, the 2 plants when compared looks quite similar
