This does seem to fit Anemone rivularis but one should look out for A.elongata @ 2600-3500m in Nepal.  There are no images of pressed specimens of the latter available on the Kew Herbarium site and some of the images attributed to this species on the internet have been misidentified such as the first image which appears when checking with 'The Plant List' see: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22Anemone+elongata%22&tbm=isch&gws_rd=ssl#gws_rd=ssl&imgrc=t998wOGyNtoddM%3A.   This is CLEARLY not A.elongata - seems to be a hybrid cultivar to me!

Anemon elongata is recorded from Garwhal, so perhaps Dr Rawat has come across it in Uttarakhand?  I think I have some images of what I think may be A.elongata somewhere, so shall look these out when I can.   Such images (or any other members have) would represent a new entry for eFI.

A.elongata is recorded from near the top of Phulchoki  mountain above Godawari, Nepal, in 'Flora of Kathmandu Valley' - according to this, its achenes are smaller than in A.rivularis more rounded and with straight beaks - the achenes in the first image above are immature and not fully in focus but have hooked beaks.
