Leibtitzia nepalensis (Asteraceae) from Uttarakhand: DSR_Sept. 2017_07

[D.S Rawat]

Leibnitzia nepalensis (Asteraceae) was noticed by me in few alpine zones. This time I managed to photograph it in our Ralam- Barjikang Pass trekking in Pithoragarh District, Uttarakhand.

This image was photographed few kms above Ralam village at about 4000m elevation on 5^th Sept. 2017.

The type image is available in Herbcat:

To my surprise it is new genus and species for eFI.
