Flora of Uttarakhand- Herb6D for Id- JM

[J.M. Garg]

Wild Herb captured on 13/8/10 during the trek from Ghangaria (around 11,000 ft.) to Hemkunt Sahib (around 14000 ft.).

Leaves looked different in both my postings earlier identified as Polygonum affine (=Bistorta affinis).

Leaves are different here also from Polygonum affine (=Bistorta affinis).

Ritesh ji

I am happier than you. Keep doing this often. I will learn more and eFlora group will benefit.

Yes, the leaves are distinctive, like that of Blueberry
http://www.naturephoto-cz.eu/vaccinium-myrtillus-picture-784.html
The species name vaccinifolia means just that. According to GRIN, the
currently accepted name is Bistorta vaccinifolia.

Thanks to all 

Tanay

[Pankaj Kumar]

Polygonum vaccinifolium Wall.Numer. List [Wallich] n. 1695. 1829.

Type: Unspecified types at E, Wallich, Nathaniel 1695;

NOTE: CAN YOU IMAGINE, THE PROTOLOGUE IS JUST THE LIST OF THE SPECIES
WRITTEN IN HIS OWN HANDWRITING BY N.WALLICH IN "Numerical list of
dried specimens of plants in the Museum of the Honl. East India
Company /which have been supplied by Dr. Wallich, superintendent of
the botanic garden at Calcutta." and then there are those specimens
with exact numbers kept at Edinburgh. This is the beauty of going
through original references and protologues and types. They had been
so well maintained.

Regards
Pankaj
