Another flower for today from …. Location Pangi Valley Himachal Anemone obtusiloba
For ID 161011NS2:
please help me identify this flower. I have provided 2 different coloured flowers here because they seem to look similar, hence I feel they may be the same family. Date/Time- Oct 2011 Location– Himachal Pradesh, Kullu and Spiti valleys, 10,000 to 12,000ft altitude Habitat- Wild, rocky area

Plant for ID from Paddar valley J&K. 291111 SRANA 01: Kindly Identify this Ranunculacceae plant
Date: 14th June 2011
Location: Paddar valley district Kishtwar J&K.
Altitude: About 3600 meters asl
Plant habit/habitat: Wild herb
Plant height: 25-30 cms
Location- Himachal Pradesh, Kullu and Spiti valleys, 10,000 to 12,000ft altitude
Habitat- Wild, rocky area Perhaps anemone rivularis I think yes, this is Anemone rivularis Anemone rivularis After seeing the plant uploaded by … from Padar Valley, which is more likely Anemone revularis, we may have to revise the identification of above plant. It could be Anemone obtusiloba after all.
for ID:
This plant very much resembles Fragaria vesca, but I’m not sure whether flowers can be purple for F. vesca. Can anyone help? Fragaria and Anemone obtusiloba are mixed up, flowers belong to Anemone.

Anemone species for ID ABSEP2016/40 : 3 posts by 2 authors. 10 images.
This is from my trek to Triund in May. At that time I had assumed it to be Anemone rivularis, but I am not so sure now. Both blue and white version, which are likely the same species were growing next to each other. Please advise.
Mcleodganj-Triund, HP 2600m and above 30 May 2016 At least lower images compel me to conclude A. obtusiloba. Colour of flowers, proximity of bracteal leaves, flowers appearing single, colour shades all point to A. obtusiloba. A. rivularis would have very long peduncle with several subtended by an involucre. Thank you … Would you say that both flowers are the same species A. obtusiloba? … is correct that this is not Anemone rivularis. He is more familiar with A.obtusiloba than I am but would like to add that this is a very variable species. Dr Stewart commented that it was the commonest Anemone in the outer ranges of the Himalaya in Kashmir & N.Pakistan. He recognised var. potentilloides known as the ‘Sulphur Anemone’, with as the name suggests, rich yellow flowers. This is usually found at higher altitudes than the white or bluish forms (lots of intermediaries) up to over 4200m. I have seen it many times in Kashmir; it is also found near top of Rohtang and towards other passes in Kulu Valley.

Seen this beautiful herb en-route Guntarao camp site at GHNP at an altitude of approx. 3500m.
Bot. name: Anemone obtusiloba ? Family: Ranunculaceae Date/Time: 28-09-2014 / 08:30AM efi page on Anemone obtusiloba Anemone rivularis as A. obtusiloba has bluish tinge in outer sides of corolla lobes or underside and at high altitudes the flowers are either yellowish -bluish on underside. Thanks … for correcting the ID and also for sharing your observations. I think yes, not A. obtusiloba. Sorry, this does not match Anemone rivularis. Unfortunately, all 5 images are similar with the underside of the flowers not shown nor the lower leaves.
However, I think that the original suggestion of Anemone obtusiloba probably was correct.

This particular plant was seen at a height of 2100 mtrs at a place called Triund. The flowers were abt 2 cms across and the plant was abt 1foot in height. Please help in identifying it. Clematis montana? Clematis has much longer stamens, opposite leaves and very long pedicels. I think this to be some species of Anemone. This sud be Anemone !! This plant was not a climber hence it most probably isnt Clematis These images present difficulties identification-wise. They are inadequate. PLEASE on future occasions, take MANY MORE images including both
upper and lower surfaces of flowers, upper & lower foliage (both upper and lower surfaces), habitat and habit.
I find it hard to speculate which species it belongs to. I am in agreement it does not fit with Clematis and does appear to be an Anemone. Could be a straggly Anemone rivularis or an elongated version of another species but even IF I was more confident, I cannot see that these images represent a useful reference – just add to the confusion which exists already.
Cannot justify devoting any more time on these images. I think it is closer to Anemonastrum tetrasepalum (Royle) Holub (syn: Anemone tetrasepala Royle) as per details and references herein and as per keys in Flora of Pakistan & FOP illustration There are two closely related species in our area: Anemonastrum tetrasepalum (Royle) Holub (syn: Anemone tetrasepala Royle) (Distribution given in J&K only in our area) and Anemone elongata. Keys between them is given below from Flora of China:
Keys point out towards this plant being Anemone elongata. I further checked with GBIF & description in Flora of China and as per high resolution specimens as below:
In view I think the posted plant should be of Anemone elongata.
High resolution specimens of Anemonastrum tetrasepalum (Royle) Holub (syn: Anemone tetrasepala Royle) look different in GBIF I know Triund well (elevation is around 2800m) and have found only one Anemone there—Anemone obtusilobum, both white and blue varieties. The plants start appearing a little below Triund and are found above Triund till about 3400m. But this is not Anemonastrum obtusilobum subsp. obtusilobum
I don’t see where the discrepancy lies. Please elaborate.
Thanks, …, You have made me think again.
Ultimately crux lies, if this plant is small or long. To me it appeared like a long one.
Pl. see details at Anemonastrum obtusilobum subsp. obtusilobum &
And for Anemonastrum elongatum (D. Don) Holub at
But … mentions that the plant was about one foot tall. Flora of China gives 40-80cm tall scape for Anemone elongata. Moreover, it says that cyme is compound with 7-15 flowers. In that case you are right on your id.
Given the scant photo evidence, this is the best we can do. If I did not know the area well, I wouldn’t even have offered a guess about its identity.
We can say it’s ‘most likely’ A. obtusiloba, considering its habitat. . Anemonidium obtusilobum subsp. obtusilobum : 5 posts by 2 authors.
There are two enties.
New name : Anemonastrum obtusilobum subsp. obtusilobum ?? Yes, this is the same species, but since the flower colors are very different, yellow and blue, I had put two entries. Initially I was not able to identify the blue one, although the Yellow-White one was already on the site. OK. What about the name ?? CoL and the efi has this name. Yes you are right
