Dear Garg jee,

Could the members of the esteemed group assist in the ID of this flowering shrub growing in the Alpine zone of 17,000 feet in the Drass LOC sector where the Kargil War was fought in the summer of 1999.

Best regards,

Maybe something close to Waldheimia genus?:

With the rather large flowers, I think this is Allardia tridactylites. Compare with the images here

Sir,

This pant is resembling as Waldhemia and species resembling with stoliczkai what I could able to match with the picture. Besides this glabra, tomentosa and one more species found in ladakh.

The two are very close species, in fact Allardia tridactylis was recorded as synonym of A. glabra in FBI and possibly also by Stewart. Now that two speciea are treated distinct. this key should help.

Capitula 1.5 – 2.5 cm across, on sparsely hairy short peduncles. Phyllaries 3.5 – 4.5 mm long, hairy at the bases. Cypselas 2.5 – 3 mm long.        3 Allardia glabra
+   Capitula 2.5 – 3.5 cm across, on glabrous peduncles. Phyllaries 6 – 7 mm long, glabrous all over. Cypselas 3 – 3.5 mm long.                           4 Allardia tridactylites

Looking at head size Tabish ji looks right. although peduncles would confirm.

[J.M. Garg]

Based on the above discussions, I feel that there is more than species at 
https://efloraofindia.com/2011/12/24/waldheimia-glabra/

We have to sort these also based on keys in Flora of Pakistan.
