Final verification ??

[J.M. Garg]

Closer to Euphrasia regelii as suggested by Tabish ji.

But difficult to confirm.

Hi, Saroj ji, do you have other pictures ?

Dear Mr. Garg,

Just one pic but not so different .

Thank you.

Saroj

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks Saroj ji,

May I request you to pl. match with images at Euphrasia regelii as I am unable to conclude.

[Tabish]

One distinguishing feature of Euphrasia regelii is that mid-lobe of the lower lip is very narrow, much narrower than the upper lip.

In this respect, Saroj's flower agrees with mine (presumably Euphrasia pectinata), and not with Euphrasia regelii at Flora of China. Please see the  attached picture for comparison.

  So I presume Saroj ji's plant is Euphrasia pectinata.

Dear Tabish and Mr. Garg,

Thank you.

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Saroj ji.

None of the sources give distribution of Euphrasia pectinata in India or Nepal:

Flora of China 

Catalogue of Life

Scrophulariaceae of the Western Himalayas By Francis . Pennell (1943)- Description & Keys

Species with distribution in annotated checklist of Flowering plants of Nepal \

I feel it is some other species.

[J.M. Garg]

It may be E. Pectinata only as Catalogue of Life gives distribution in Nubra Valley and as discussed in another thread.
