Hi,

Pankaj Dr. Rashid introduced me to this platform..the plants on the
tufts are Saussurea gnaphalodes (Asteraceae)

[Pankaj Kumar]

Thanks a lot doc for the info. I am really fascinated by these Saussureas!!
I am really happy to see more and more professional taxonomists in the group.
Keep posting.

Thanks for posting this great shot. I was wondering about the flowering plants on it.These seem to be different species as clarified by you in the thread later.
By the way please re-size your image to less than 150k before sending to group.

Slight correction. It is Thylacospermum caespitosum (Camb.) Schischkin (syn: Arenaria rupifraga (Kar. & Kir.) Fenzl).

I have travelled a lot in Ladakh but incidentally not seen this plant. Thanks for showing this rare plant.
