Ash Coloured Fleabane (Vernonia cinerea)

It grew wild in the cleared field in my farm. When it matured after a few months, the bushy head flower buds came out in groups at the branch terminals. Finally, each of these flower buds turns into a white spherical cotton-like flower. 
Don't look down at this plant, it can help to reduce infection of your cuts/wounds in the field. Just get a few leaves, tear and press until the latex comes out.  Place it on your wounds and leave there for a while, you will find some relief. It is a traditional herbal medicine.
