Dear Friends,
I had seen this sp. of Artemisia in the wetland - grassy field near lake Tso moriri in Ladakh region. The Tso Moriri lake in Ladakh is another High Altitude lake (Altitude approx: 15075ft) and was declared as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention in 2003. Enclosing few photographs to have a feel of the habitat.
Family: Asteraceae

Wonderful blues...
no pulltion thats visible...
is it high altitude that makes the leaves of this artimisia look kind-
a "succulent-ish", short squat and somewhat thick?
do you have a close up view of just the leaf?
