This herb was found on the way to Sela Pass in Arunachal Pradesh. Altitude could be anything between 3500-4500 m.
Sorry for the poor quality of the pics - this is the best we could manage in the situation.
Is this Morina polyphylla?
The description in Flora of China says, "Inflorescence 8-10 cm, compact, of many whorls; involucral bracts (3 or)4-6 per whorl, connate basally, forming a cup-shaped structure..."
I am not able to make out if these white things that we see in the pics, are the bracts that are mentioned in the description.
Please help
Tabish

Often I wish I knew plants sooo much that I could help in most unknowns, but...

Could the white stuff be snow, lingering , hence mis-shapen?

when I enlarged the thumbnails,

the surrounding "soil" is not soil but something that look pebbly shaped but glistening, white in the left side (more light falling there) and pinkish/ brownish on the right side of the picture ( in the shades) to me it means water froze on pebbles... ie ice formed.

sorry but I cant help with the plant ID...

but I think its snow and ice... for the mystery globs and mystery soil....

I think Saroj is right! It does look like Cirsium eriophoroides.

Have a look at the images on this site:

http://ppbc.iplant.cn/tu/444855

http://ppbc.iplant.cn/tu/449614

Attaching another picture to show its habitat.

Eight years after poorly photographing it, it is identified! Speaks volumes about eFI!

Thank you Saroj!

Cheers!
