*Does this come within Androsace sarmentosa or A.studiosorum?* Interesting that in 'The Valley of Flowers' book it is called A.primuloides, which was previously considered (certainly in Stewart's day up to 1970s and 'Flowers of the Himalaya' (1980s) to be the species found in Kashmir which became A.studiosorum. According to 'Tibetan Medicinal Plants' A.sarmentosa has an inflorescence with brown & wavy hairs, leaves with a broader petiole, narrower bracts cf. A.studiosorum (which has an inflorescence with villous, white hairs).
However, they also say the 2 species overlap in Kumaon, Tehri-Garwhal, Lahoul, Chamba and parts of Western Nepal, where plants exist which cannot be assigned with certainty to either species. *Does anyone know of further studies about this?* On Sunday, June 8, 2014 at 6:01:40 PM UTC+1, Prashant wrote: > > Dear Friends, > This is one more set of Androsace sp photographs from VoF. > > Regards > Prashant > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "efloraofindia" group.
