Dear friends,

Any idea what this little beauty is...

Location Chamba
Altitude 4000 mts
Habit herb
Habitat wild

I also aplogise for the not so good quality in a lot of pics.. and the
reason being was that I was practically dragging my scooter alone all
the way on a very rough road up to the pass in the middle of nowhere...
an adventure I'll not forget...
and these were taken in between whenever I stopped to take breath... :))

regards
Alok

Thanks Satish ji,
I am deeply grateful for the knowledge shared by you and all the other
members of the forum to increase and further the botanical interest in
common people like me... the one's who have no background of botany or
sciences and would not have dreamed of documenting this data without any
hope of identifying them...
Regards
Alok
