Khardung La mountain pass is in India at +18000 ft elevation.

Lepidium densiflorum is not known in India as not enumerated in Flora of India vol-2.

The ID may need deeper investigation.

Dear friends,

I am not an expert. These pictures were shot at an altitude of 11500-12000 ft before

reaching to the Khardung -La. As per the hints received from Nidhan Singh jee I guess

it is Lepidium densiflorum and it looks like that.

Please arrange to ID from some expert if possible.

Thank you and best wishes.

I have just been looking at A NEW EXPERIMENT and the link to Lepidium and thus this page.

Please note that Lepidium densiflorum is a common & widespread in North America but has never been recorded from Ladakh and his

HIGHLY UNLIKELY to be found there.

Dickore & Klimes list 4 species of Lepidium in the most up-to-date check-list for Ladakh.

I shall look into this further.

Since Lepidium densiflorum Schrad. do not have distribution in India, I guess this could be Lepidium apetalum Willd.

or some other sp.

Dear Tabish,

I guess this should be removed from the database.
