Thank you Mr Garg. I did check our site before filing but could not find any one species describing my sample, H. canescens is close though.

Forwarding again for Id assistance please.

I also could not find a match in comparative images. What are the other species of Heracleum found in Himachal ?

Thank you Mr. Garg. In fact I was up in the mountains and photographed this plant again at about 3500m. Attaching here some photos.

H. Wallichii in the first link looks close to the plant here. The sample was collected by Dr. Goraya from HP even though the distribution map on the page gives Sikkim as the distribution area. POWO also gives East Himalaya as the distribution area for the species and considers it a synonym of Tetrataenium wallichii.

Perhaps we could write to Dr. Goraya for advice.

Near Lahaish Cave, Dharamshala, HP
3500m approx.

Ashwini

Hi, Ashwini ji,
Why don't you also check https://www.gbif.org/species/3629462 (Heracleum lallii C.Norman), which also looks similar and have distribution in your area as per Catalogue of Life;
Heracleum wallichii DC. does not have distribution in your area as per Catalogue of Life;
If you can check the keys in books with you along with the list of species, it may sort out the issue.

It does not match with specimens of Heracleum lallii C.Norman in GBIF
I checked the keys in Flora of Bhutan (mentioning more than 40 genera of Apiaceae), found the correct id as Tordyliopsis brunonis DC.
Catalogue of life gives its distribution as NW-India (Kumaon, Lahul), Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, Chumbi, S-Tibet
I checked with high resolution specimens in GBIF and it is matching.
I also checked with description in Flora of Bhutan, with which it is also matching.
You can also see and check with description in Flora of China
