Respected sir,

As Prinsepia utilis is distributed from about 1000metres to 2600 metres altitude. So the flowering time shows variation with increasing altitude.

I have also seen this plant flowering in January at about 950metres altitude, however in P.utilis normally flowering time is from March to May.

Along with altitude other factors including plant aspect, local climatic conditions and sunlight availability etc also plays important role in determining flowering time.

The plants growing in drier and sunny locations shows early flowering than the plant growing in moister and shady locations at same altitude.

As you have observed plant at 1700metres altitude so other microclimatic factors may be the reason for this.

Best regards
Ashutosh Sharma
