Aristolochia from Sikkim for id

[U GLachungpa]

Dear All,

Would be grateful for identification of this high altitude, large flowered, wild Aristolochia which looks pale to be griffithii, but does not match with pictures I could locate on the Net
Location: Lachung, North Sikkim.  Does not attract butterflies, did not grow in Gangtok.

Kind regards,

Usha

I feel this is very much A. griffithii. I have seen this plant at
Eaglenest, Arunachal Pradesh. Regards, Shrikant.

Dear All,

Dr. Paramjit Singh of BSI has confirmed that it is indeed Aristolochia griffithii.

Kind regards,
