I have not been able to find this on the efloraindia site nor a match on the net.

Attaching an image of the flower and the leaves. Photographed around 400m in Ladakh today.

Thank you

Joanna

Comarum salesovianum (=Potentilla salesoviana). It should be 4000 m, not 400m.

Thank you both but I'm not sure we have the identity yet. P caulescens does look quite similar but the petals appear to be shaped a bit differently and distribution is given only as Europe.

I made a typo as of course meant 4000m (not 400m) in Ladakh. I am attaching a wider image to show how it was growing. Quite woody and tall. rather than a creeper.

best Joanna
