Thanks Dr. Chadwell The last image on my hand clearly shows awn length slightly
shorter than interphalangeal gap in my second finger. the gap being about 3.5
mm, awn length should be around 2.5 mm. Here are stipules cropped from
original image 2 (606)

I think this probably does come within Geranium rectum which Stewart found to
not be rare on the lower alpine meadows in Kashmir @ 2400-3000m; flowers pink.
Nasir considered it to resemble G.rubifolium (syn. G.kishtvariense) which
Stewart recorded from temperate forests in Kashmir @ 2100-3000m, describing it
as having large maple-like leaves and pink flowers, close to G.rectum.
Dr Singh's specimen has more dissected foliage than descriptions of
G.rubifolium. Cannot see the stipules well but no evidence of them being
2-fid. The sepal awns I cannot judge length (meant to be 2-3mm).
There are images of G.rubifolium to be seen on the internet but how reliable
they are is another matter - some show whitish centres akin to some forms of
G.wallichianum. Such characteristics are unlikely to be known to herbarium
taxonomists unless detailed field notes are provided as to flower colour (which
is seldom the case).

Geranium rectum Trautv
Species similar in appearance to G. lambertii but easily distinguished by its
narrower petals not overlapping like other species.
