Thanks Anzar for showing this rare species. I don't find any authentic image on the net, and yours is a very valuable addition.

I simply forwarded the original message to the group and after the error message I realized that it may not have gone originally to the group because of large size of images. As such I have reduced the messages and sending them here

Thanks a lot, Singh ji.

This is an interesting high altitude species. Pulsatilla is represented in India by one species only i.e. P.wallichiana (Royle) Ulbrich. occurring in J & K and Himachal Pradesh. Descriptions are available in Flora of India vol-I page-111 and Flora of Jammu and Kashmir page-412-13. ID seems OK to me. Diagram is available at-

Sorry, I do not currently think these images are of Pulsatilla wallichiana.

Once again, the posting from Kashmir provides no general location nor altitude - which is a serious omission.

ASSUMING, the specimen was photographed in the Kashmir Valley, this does NOT tally with the known distribution of P.wallichiana.

Furthermore, the foliage and involucre does not fit.

Stewart recorded P.wallichiana from N.Pakistan (incl. Baltistan) and Ladakh but NOT the Kashmir Valley.

My initial thoughts are that the images are of an Anemone probably either A.falconeri or A.biflora which Stewart did record from the Kashmir Valley

(though I think there is now some questioning of whether the true A.biflora is found in Kashmir).  I shall be checking further.

In the mean-time, it will be useful for references purposes if I post the two images I have available (taken on my behalf) of what I do consider

to be Pulsatilla wallichiana.
