I thought Fritillaria cirrhosa was a plant of Eastern Himalayas and Fritillaria roylei a plant of Western Himalayas. This synonymy at the plant list is confusing. GRIN still treats them as separate.

Also the leaves don't look like those of Fritillaria cirrhosa at all.

Thanks Dinesh ji, you found at least in fruiting condition. I could catch it in flowering in May only. Completely missed it in previous years in Kashmir in July-August. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh |

Actually Dinesh, I am having doubts about this being Fritillaria at all, not that I have much experience with it. F. roylei is supposed to be 1-2 ft tall - this plant appears taller. Also, the flowers are nodding, whereas the fruit here is upright. It might happen of course that in fruiting the stalks become erect, but I need somebody to tell me that it does happen. |
These were standing about a metre tall or even 1.25 m, as much as I can recollect. |

Thanks Tabish ji for raising the doubt. |
