I am an amateur/enthusiast with some knowledge of California native plants and plant families. Would like help from eminent scholars here on identifying plants from my travels through Garhwal and Sikkim last year. Will abide by posting guidelines; please pardon/point out any infractions. If any of you travel to northern California, would be delighted to take you on local hikes to see the botanical treasures of this area. March-May are particularly floriferous here.

Location: Chopta, in bugyal at the start of the Tungnath trail

Altitude: 2926 meters

Date: May 8, 2015

Description: Low mat-forming groundcover

Rawat Ji,

Thank you for the helpful clue. I browsed the available Ranunculus pix on the EFI site, and I can understand now that leaf shape/size and side view is critical for identification. Will be more mindful of this in the future. Attaching another photo from the same location in which the pedicel is visible.

Pedicle looks glabrous and leaf looks  thick like succulent.

I guess this looks like different sp.

Thank you.
