The small alpine Potentilla described as Potentilla sibbaldii Haller.f. in Flora of British India has gone either as Sibbaldia procumbens var. procumbens (eFlora Pakistan; eFlora China) or S. cuneata Hornem ex Kuntze. The Plant list treats P. sibbaldii described in FBI (synonym of Sibbaldia parviflora Willd.) as distinct from P. sibbaldii of Haller.f. (synonym of S. procumbens) We thus have three plants to account for, luckily two are described in eFlora of China. Sibbaldia cuneata: Stems erect or ascending, epicalyx equalling calyx; petals equalling or longer than calyx Sibbaldia procumbens var. procumbens: Stems prostrate or ascending; epicalyx much shorter than calyx; petals shorter than sepals. Sibbaldia parviflora: Much like S. procumbens but densely downy and appearing Grey http://encyclopaedia.alpinegardensociety.net/plants/Sibbaldia/parviflora There are two plants uploaded in our database. One by me as S. procumbens var. procumbens. This should be S. cuneata https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/indiantreepix/Sibbaldia$20procumbens/indiantreepix/_b03-1mHgCI/YEjGF5NNGAAJ The second by Dinesh ji uploaded as Sibbaldia cuneata should be S. parviflora https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/indiantreepix/Sibbaldia$20procumbens/indiantreepix/_b03-1mHgCI/YEjGF5NNGAAJ Prashant ji has perhaps correctly identified his plant as S. parviflora https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/indiantreepix/Sibbaldia$20parviflora/indiantreepix/5WZGkGM5IG0/LKL1NxdUy2YJ Your comments please : Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
