Dear Saroj
I am in agreement that the plant photographed comes close to whatStewart knew
in Pakistan as 'The Garden Wallflower' (Cheiranthus cheiri) -where it was much
cultivated in flower gardens.
However, it was not a FIRM identification.
Enumeration of the Flowering Plants of Nepal does not mention it but
thisconcentrated upon WILD plants. No mention in Flora of Bhutan nor the
Dickore& Klimes Ladakh check-list (2005) - they included many cultivated
species with thearid conditions there similar to Jomsom.
The Plant List also has this currently under Erysimum cheiri but that data-base
considersthe name "unresolved".
By the way Cheiranthus cheiri 'Wallflower' is a native of cliffs & rocks in
Greece, Crete,W.Turkey & W.Syria. Flowers in the wild are deep yellow. It is
naturalised on walls in mostof the rest of Europe. Flower colour in
cultivated wallflowers varies from red to pinkish orbrown, yellow and cream.
There are quite a number of cultivated wallflowers. Many of the cultivars
including hybrids of anumber of other species.
I therefore think it best to say perhaps a garden wallflower.
