Tiwari ji You may be right, Looking at so many specimens from VOF, I have a feeling that we may be having both varieties in our uploads.
It appears that my upload from Kashmir and Prashany ji's from Valley of Flowers with compact basal leaflets with no smaller ones inbetween, low habit and stem with single flower may be Acomastylis elata var. humilis (Geum elatum var. humilis). https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/indiantreepix/Geum$20elatum/indiantreepix/Ip795LGsb64/yA4qp3M7-G4J The above plant (if leaves support it)) and others with taller habit, basal leaves with interspersed smaller leaflets, taller branches with more than one flower on each stem may be the typical Acomastylis elata var. elata. Perhaps some more critical study is needed. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
