Wild plant captured on 13/8/10 during the trek from Ghangaria (around 11,000 ft.) to Hemkunt Sahib (around 14000 ft.).
--Thanks, Singh ji & Tanay ji.
I think it matches with Sorbus microphylla from Concise Flowers of Himalayas by Oleg Polunin & Adam Stainton.
Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please.
Some earlier relevant feedback:

Can be Sorbus aucuparia!! Do you jave any close ups Garg ji | |
Thanks, Singh ji & Tanay ji. Close up is there in Plant1 I IMG_4692.- from me |
Out of the two species of Sorbus (under Pyrus) described in FBI and Flora Simlensis, it seems the group has now been split into many species with true S. aucuparia not perhaps now represented in India. The inflorescence looks reddish in colour but difficult to say whether it is simple colour or rusty tomentum (in that case it would be S. foliolosa). Perhaps some one having "Flowers of Himalayas" can help. |
