Garg Sir,

I do not know either of these two genera. However, i give my search result -

• Androsace spp seem to have basal rosette leaves, as can be seen in - http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Common%20Rock%20Jasmine.html.
• on the other hand Myosotis spp., as have been suggested by Gurcharan Sir, have alternate leaves - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myosotis.
• a species, Myosotis sylvatica is found in Darjeeling - zsienvis.nic.in/biodiversity_wb/Flora/9.%20Dicot.doc, also attaching the doc file
• pictures of the above available at - http://plantsgallery.blogspot.in/2010/12/myosotis-sylvatica-niezapominajka-le%C5%9Bna.html
• another species, but with a bit different leaves is Myosotis scorpioides.

Thank you & Regards,

Surajit Koley

Sorry.

On further examination, I feel it should be Myosotis laxa subsp. caespitosa (Schultz) Hyl. ex Nordh.

Dear Garg Ji

thank you for this new information

will read up surely

Once again although no close-ups it is clear there are spreading hairs on the calyces, ruling out Myosotis laxa subsp. caespitosa

Does not fit M.stricta/refracta.

Flowers larger ruling out M.arvensis I think and foliage not fitting M.asiatica - thus leaving M.sylvatica as the most likely but if a cultivated plant

then could be other species or some of hybrid.

Given no close-ups or fruit characteristics one has to be more speculative.

Thanks, Chadwell ji
