1. Inula helenium L. (Asteraceae) Elecampane, Elfwort (Wangyal 2020)
2. Inula royleana DC. (Asteraceae) (Boesi 2014)
3. Inula racemosa Hook.f. (Asteraceae) Indian elecampane (Drungtso 2005). Sanskrit : puṣkara mūla (Dash 1989). Drungtso gives the same plant under the name pug kar mu la. Identify it with ma nu pa tra is certainly erroneous.

The ma nu plants are of numerous types, like ma nu pa tra, ma nu pushkar, ma nu ru rta, ma nu shu zur, ma nu khrag can, ma nu gser shing etc. The types are not completely fixed, but ma nu means pleasing, that leaves and flowers have beautiful forms and odours etc.
ma nu pa tra seems not to be an original Indian name. It is not mentioned by Dash, wisdomlib.org or other sources, where only pushkar mu la is described, identified with Inula racemosa, Indian elecampane.
