Looks like I am becoming a botanical 'twitcher'.  Perhaps Mr Garg
can keep track of the number of NEW entries Dr Singh and I each make every month
plus any other 'challengers'!

Not sure if the terminology 'birder' and 'twitcher' have been adopted in
Indian ornithology?

These are the first quality images I have seen of this species Colutea nepalensis, which
is not something I have come across in the wild.   There are records for Ladakh
by Dickore & Klimes but not Stewart who knew it in Kurram, Astor, Chitral though
at only @ 1500-2400m, which is a problem because, as far as I know, the lowest
part of Ladakh is c. 2700m.

There are several Coluteas in Pakistan such as C.armata found in Juniper tracts in Baluchistan.

and following 3 images incl. pods.

Marijn photographed his plants at a higher elevation than Stewart records and he had no records
for Baltistan or Ladakh.

Flowers of Himalaya, understandably does not cover this species, just C.multiflora from
Central & East Nepal.   All Coluteas have inflated, bladder-like, papery fruits.

The genus is commonly known as 'Bladder Senna'.
