Neither POWO nor Catalogue of Life give any distibution of Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. in India (also in BSI Flora of India as per details at Tamarix‎).

Garg ji, the second image in FOI by Prashant ji is what we have in our database as Myricaria squamosa (earlier as M. germanica). Needs to be checked.

Thanks Garg ji,

Indeed, it is not listed in India, although the distribution map (if accurate) in POWO, shows its distribution bordering Ladakh. Ladakh checklist by L. Klimeš and B. Dickoré mentions Tamarix ramosissima in Ladakh. I don't know how updated it is.

I think Ladakh checklist by L. Klimeš and B. Dickoré was published in 2009 as per

https://sites.google.com/a/shpa.org.uk/main/flora-of-ladakh?tmpl=%2Fsystem%2Fapp%2Ftemplates%2Fprint%2F&showPrintDialog=1

https://www.butbn.cas.cz/klimes/desert.html

I think it should be more reliable as far as Ladakh Flora is concerned. BSI Flora of India may have been published much earlier.

Images in POWO seem to match.

I could not find the published version of Klimes & Dickore's list, but the attached paper explores the Flora of Nubra valley, and lists Tamarix ramosissima. Nubra valley is where we found it.

Thanks, Tabish ji.

As they have put it on the web as per https://www.butbn.cas.cz/klimes/desert.html, it should be as good as published.

Recently Flora of Ladakh: An Annotated Inventory of Flowering Plants by Achuta Nand Shukla & S. K. Srivastava was published in Feb.2020.

But I do not know how to get access other than buying.

Hi, Tabish ji,

In view of the confusion, what to take as final id ?

I think we can assume it as Tamarix ramosissima for now, as the Ladakh checklist by L. Klimeš and B. Dickoré lists it, and also the paper BULL. BOT. SURV. INDIA, Vol. 42, Nos. 1-4 : pp. 81-90, 2000, lists Tamarix ramosissima in the plants of Nubra Valley. Moreover the images seem to agree with those of Tamarix ramosissima at POWO, as Garg ji pointed out.
