Often I wish I knew plants sooo much that I could help in most unknowns, but...
Could the white stuff be snow, lingering , hence mis-shapen? when I enlarged the thumbnails, the surrounding "soil" is not soil but something that look pebbly shaped but glistening, white in the left side (more light falling there) and pinkish/ brownish on the right side of the picture ( in the shades) to me it means water froze on pebbles... ie ice formed. sorry but I cant help with the plant ID... but I think its snow and ice... for the mystery globs and mystery soil.... usha di On Sat, Jul 20, 2013 at 1:15 PM, Tabish <[email protected]> wrote: > This herb was found on the way to Sela Pass in Arunachal Pradesh.
