Tragopogon kashmirianus from Kashmir

[Gurcharan Singh]

Tragopogon kashmirianus G. Singh from Kashmir, a species that I had described in 1976 (Forest Flora of Srinagar p. 123, fig. 4), an allotetraploid species. Photographed from hill above Cheshmashahi on June 26, 2010. The species is characterised among other things by ray florets with purple striated yellow corolla. The flowers open in the morning and close at noon,and as such I could not catch an open head. I have as such split a closed head to show the corolla. Details are available on:

Recently important molecular research was done on this species and results published in 2008:

Molecular data reveal that the tetraploid Tragopogon kashmirianus(Asteraceae: Lactuceae) is distinct from the North American T. mirus

Volume 158, Issue 3, pages 391–398, November 2008

Dear Ajmal
This is the e-mail of Dr. Wilde: dew...@nhn.leidenuniv.nl
You may try asking him directly. Couldnt find either of the articles.
Just incase you dont have, I am attaching another article on the same
tribe by him. I assume you might have it already.
Just incase you dont get those, plz let me know, I will try asking
some I know in NHN.
Regards
Pankaj
