Clematis has much longer stamens, opposite leaves and very long pedicels. I
think this to be some species of Anemone.

Hello All,

This plant was not a climber hence it most probably isnt Clematis

These images present difficulties identification-wise.   They are inadequate.   PLEASE on future occasions, take MANY MORE images including both
upper and lower surfaces of flowers, upper & lower foliage (both upper and lower surfaces), habitat and habit. 

I find it hard to speculate which species it belongs to.   I am in agreement it does not fit with Clematis and does appear to be an Anemone.   Could be
a straggly Anemone rivularis or an elongated version of another species but even IF I was more confident, I cannot see that these images represent a
useful reference - just add to the confusion which exists already.

Cannot justify devoting any more time on these images.

I think it is closer to Anemonastrum tetrasepalum (Royle) Holub (syn: Anemone tetrasepala Royle) as per details and references herein and as per keys in Flora of Pakistan & FOP illustration

There are two closely related species in our area: Anemonastrum tetrasepalum (Royle) Holub (syn: Anemone tetrasepala Royle) (Distribution given in J&K only in our area) and Anemone elongata. Keys between them is given below from Flora of China:
35 (34)Leaf blade 3-lobed, leathery; sepals 4, 12--20 × 6--12 mm, glabrous, with vein anastomoses; achene body 8--12 mm 33 A. tetrasepala
+Leaf blade 3-parted, herbaceous; sepals 5, varying in size, puberulent or glabrous, without vein anastomoses; achene body smaller. (36)
    
36 (35)Sepals 12--20 × 6--12 mm, base cuneate, apex rounded; achene body 6--9 mm, wing 1.2--1.3 mm wide, style 1--1.5 mm 34 A. elongata
+Sepals 7--10 × 4--6 mm, base rounded, apex acute; achene body 5--6 mm, wing 0.5--0.6 mm wide, style 0.6--1 mm 35 A. shikokiana

Keys point out towards this plant being Anemone elongata. I further checked with GBIF & description in Flora of China and as per high resolution specimens as below:

I know Triund well (elevation is around 2800m) and have found only one Anemone there—Anemone obtusilobum, both white and blue varieties. The plants start appearing a little below Triund and are found above Triund till about 3400m.

Thanks.

Dear Mr. Garg,
I don't see where the discrepancy lies. Please elaborate.

Thanks.

But Dr. Zawar mentions that the plant was about one foot tall. Flora of China gives 40-80cm tall scape for Anemone elongata. Moreover, it says that cyme is compound with 7-15 flowers.

Dear Mr. Garg,
Given the scant photo evidence, this is the best we can do. If I did not know the area well, I wouldn't even have offered a guess about its identity.

We can say it's 'most likely' A. obtusiloba, considering its habitat.

Thanks.

With warm regards,
Ashwini
