I see there are images of this on the FOI site identified by Dvorsky from the same location.  Please note that Dickore & Klimes only list H.thomsonii but I see this is given as a synonym for H.griffithii subsp. wakhanicum.  Stewart listed H.thomsonii from Ladakh incl. Sapola & Lamayuru.  He also listed H.griffithii but as ubiquitous on the desert plains of N.Baluchistan, usually with Artemisia - which is subsp. griffithii.  According to efloraofPakistan wakhanicum is a shorter plant but larger leaves & sturdier stems.  'The Plant List' does not recognise H.thomsonii

According to POWO, CoL and GBIF and the two check lists of Ladakh recently circulated  

only one sp. listed in India is Haloxylon thomsonii Bunge ex Boiss. and, Haloxylon griffithii Boiss.

and  Haloxylon griffithii subsp. wakhanica (Paulsen) Hedge are two different sp. without

having distribution in India. Please see if it is correct 

Thank you.

Dear Saroj,

 Thanks for bringing this up. The plant on FOI by Prashant was identified by Miroslav Dvorsky as  Haloxylon thomsonii, but in those times, the synonymy pointed to Haloxylon griffithii subsp. wakhanicum, which now we know is not correct. So, the plant should be Haloxylon thomsonii, which I will correct on the site.

   Best wishes
