Forwarding again for Id assistance please.

This neither seems to have distribution in the area as per Catalogue of Life & Annotated checklist of the flowering plants of Nepal nor seems to match as per

Dear JM Garg, and Pravin,

From the appearance and the distribution this fits best as Meconopsis robusta. Though there are some features like the bumps on the leaf surface that make appear like M. dhwojii. That is possibly unusual for M. robusta.

I would be interested to see further images if they are available?

Kind regards,
Paul Egan

I guess Meconopsis dhwojii is endemic to Nepal.

Thank you.
