Saussurea sp. for ID ABOCT2017/06

[Ashwini Bhatia]

I saw these plants in early September when I went for a day trek to Ilaqa. The flowers were not yet out and I made a mental note to return to them soon. Unfortunately, on my next trek after about 10 days, I could not find the plants. I came home and looked at the time stamp on my earlier photos to determine the rough location. Next time on 1 October, I did find the plants but by then they were well past their prime flowering time. I did manage one bud with extended white stamen like growth still lingering. The leaves are quite clear and so are the buds. Could we hazard a guess?

Saussurea sp.?

Forwarding again for Id assistance please.

Could not find the match with any species so far in efi at Saussurea

I also expanded my search to its sub family/ tribe at Carduoideae, but could not find any match here also.

Thank you Ashutosh ji and Mr Garg. I am not at all familiar with this genus but it looks likely that my plant belongs to this. I will do some research and see if I can find the correct species.

Thank you once again.
