Tetrataenium nepalense (D.Don) ??

Syn: Heracleum nepalense D.Don

Finally I got more clarity after lot of search, from keys and details in Flora of Bhutan

This species is also quite close as far as leaves are concerned to Angelica nubigena (C.B.Clarke) P.K.Mukh., as per details given in the link above.

Now I am sure about this being Angelica cyclocarpa (C.Norman) Cannon, after matching with the description.

Also see GBIF specimen at Link

Thank you …!

However, images for matching could not be found in the net.

Tetrataenium nepalense (D.Don) Manden. is recorded in Kathmandu Valley hills.

Pl. check with gbif link I have sent you along with the keys.

Thanks, …, I further re-checked description of both the species.

I agree with you for Tetrataenium nepalense as per

angelica sp but further? i cant be sure

I further re-checked descriptions.

I think it may also be Tetrataenium nepalense as per

GBIF (High resolution specimens) Flora of China Annotated checklist of Flowering plants of Nepal Flowers of India Note on Heracleum nepalense | Mute Mole – Academia POWO

thinking of Tetrataenium nepalense may be the right direction. i would need better pictures of more leaves. seems there is a lot of variation in shape. may be also insertion of the stalk and subtening style. seeds would be an added bonus too.

I guess you are right …!
