Myricaria bracteata Royle

Syn: germanica subsp. alopecuroides (Schrenk) Kitam.

The species is characterised by by its typically terminal racemes as opposed to M. elegans having shorter lateral racemes.

Clicked from banks of Sindh nullah in Pahalgam, Kashmir, 23-6-2011.

If this is indeed M. bracteata, then our images under Myricaria germanica subsp. alopecuroides will really need rechecking.

Hi, Singh ji,

I feel it may be Myricaria davurica (Willd.) Ehrenb. as per GBIF rather than Myricaria bracteata Royle as per GBIF.

Pl. see

Garg ji

Racemes are mostly lateral and only 4-7 cm long, here they are terminal and much longer

You may check M. bracteata images on GBIF only
