Indian Golden Daisy is an erect annual herb, 1-3 ft tall. Stems are branched in the upper
part. Branches are cylindrical and leafy. Alternately arranged,
oblong-lancelike leaves are stalkless, 3-8 cm long, and hairy. The leaves
have rounded "ears" at the base. Yellow flower-heads, 1-2 cm across, occur
singly on slender stalks. Ray flowers are 12-24, narrow, 3-toothed at the
tip. Disc flowers are yellow. This flower can be easily distinguished from Drooping Golden Daisy by the number of "petals"
(ray flowers) in the two. Indian Golden Daisy is found in Tropical Africa
and Asia. In India it is found in the Himalayas and Western Ghats.
