1. Inula racemosa Hook.f. (Asteraceae) Indian elecampane,Fleebane (Wangyal 2020)
2. Hellenia speciosa (J.Koenig) S.R.Dutta (Costaceae) (Molvray 1988 D,P,T). Synonym : ru rta (Molvray 1988).
3. Dolomiaea souliei (Franch.) C.Shih (Asteraceae) (Paljor 2018).
pushkar mula can occasionaly give rise to confusion : with ma nu pa tra due the proximity between Inula racemosa, pushkar mu la, and I. helenium, ma nu patra. Of both plants the roots are used, and ma nu pa tra seems absent in the Indian languages. And confusion with ru rta-plants, since some Indian languages one finds pushkaramula also for Hellenia or Dolomiaea, although their usual name is koshta, kushtam etc. See ru rta for Dolomiaea, where kush ta is given as synonym.
