I saw this small bush flowering on my evening walk and I took some pictures to share. This Himalayan Wild Rhea belongs to the nettle family and one can see the nettle like hair on its leaves (see close ups). I believe the fruit from this plant is edible but I haven't seen or eaten it yet. I will keep you updated.

Dear Ashwini Ji,

You are right, it is Debregeasia saeneb. Himachal Pradesh has rich diversity of plants from Urticaceae.

I have photographs of ripe fruits. But no time to locate in the PC. I'll post some other day.

I found ripe fruits on some bushes a couple of days back and tasted a few. The fruits are slightly sweet and reminded me of mulberries. Here are some photos for the record.
