Sir. J. D. Hooker in Flor. Brit, Ind. l.c. remarks as follows regarding this species: 
“Ап anomalous plant, with the habit and involucre of Serratula, and the pappus of Jurinea; 
the achene is, however, quite that of Tricholepis tibetica, and different from that of other species of 
the genus, with which, however, it agrees in the leaves having raised points (whence the name 
Stictophyllum Edgeworth).”
