It appears somewhat close to E. pilosa as per FoC illustration and GBIF, but I am not convinced as bracts are not linear. Pl. check other species in Checklist of Nepal. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Saroj Kasaju <kasajusa...@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2019 at 18:52 Subject: SK 2240 24 October 2019 To: efloraindia <indiantreepix@googlegroups.com>, J.M.
