It seems you seem to have mixed up flowers with the shrub. The flowers belong to Androsace, leaves would help in fixing species. From flowering season I suspect A. rotundifolia. I just realised that my attachments do not match the title of my email. I attached only one image. Here is the second one which I think is the same flower from a bit closer up where the leaves may be a bit more distinguishable. Leaves are not visible but it should be same, Androsace rotundifolia This one was also taken the same day & same place. The plant is almost flushed to the ground (as you can perhaps make out from the few blades of grass). The flowers are about half an inch across. Another picture I have is attached.

These images show sufficient detail to suggest this is subsp. rotundifolia due to the calyx lobes being incised – though cannot see if there is fully glandular-pubescent.

I took a different mountain path yesterday on my walk and was rewarded with this beautiful bunch. I think this is the Roundleaf Rock Jasmine. The red or yellow centres are almost perfect pentagons but the red one is better delineated in photograph. The stalks and leaves are hairy. Please advise

I found this Androsace on the same walk on Saturday (1.5.17). The flowers were smaller (8-10mm across) and deeper in hue than those of the plants I photographed last year. It could very well be one of the variations Chris mentioned in his message last year. The sepals are smaller though not by much than the petals and I am not sure if this qualifies as var. glandulosa. Please advise. A. rotundifolia var.?

But myself also not finding the correct species.

Altitude: 1695m.

Habit : Wild . Androsace rotundifolia: Yes, because Flora of Pakistan had listed two subspecies of Androsace rotundifolia
Now they are treated as one species. They should be merged on the site too.
