Hello friends

Saw this Apiaceae member near Ghangaria, Uttarakhand in Aug 2018.

Requested to please provide ID. Is this Selinum wallichianum?

Thanks and regards

On further working for days on Selinum of Nepal, I got more clarity in the matter after going through Keys, details and distribution to the species from Himalayan species of Selinum L. sl - BioOne

It is Oreocome candollei (syn: Selinum candollei DC.) (Bhutan, Nepal, India (W Himalaya: Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh), Pakistan) (Rays 20-45 as per Himalayan species of Selinum L. sl - BioOne) as per description in Flora of Pakistan (Involucre of 5-12 long linear, white margined bracts compared to Involucre of 1 or 2 linear bracts or lacking of Selinum wallichianum (DC.) E. Nasir, to which it is confused, though these characters can not be seen here).

Images of Selinum wallichianum look different from images in Flora of Nepal on searching on Selinum wallichianum at

http://www.floraofnepal.org/imagegallery

Himalayan species of Selinum L. sl - BioOne says as below:

Note. – In the southern, rather wet slope of Annapurna we found both Oreocome candollei and Ligusticopsis wallichiana in very close or even the same localities in high-herbaceous subalpine stony meadows. In spite of essential differences particularly in fruit characters (see Results, above), moreover in stem and root structure, both species appear very similar. The characters of stem and root structure can hardly be observed in herbarium material.

Thank you Mr. Garg,

I hope this would be very helpful in identifying Selinum sp.
