Inula hookeri

Field notes

Inula hookeri, Hooker's inula or Hooker's fleabane, is a species of flowering plant in the sunflower and daisy family Asteraceae. It is native to the Himalayas (Bhutan and Nepal), India (Sikkim), Myanmar and China (SE Xizang, NW Yunnan), where it grows in a variety of open habitats at 2,400–3,600 m (7,900–11,800 ft).

The specific epithet hookeri commemorates the plant hunter Sir Joseph Hooker, who brought it back from the Himalayas to Britain in 1849.
