Mazus surculosus D.Don (Phrymaceae, earlier Scrophulariaceae) is a common herb between 500-2500m in Uttarakhand.
The plant produce numerous runners (surculii) and colonize the area rapidly.
Photographed near Garbadhar, Pithoragarh District Uttarakhand. I remember observing this near Manali.

Mazus surculosus D.Don is a frequent prostrate herb above 1000m in Uttarakhand. It differs from M.pumilus, a more common species in Uttarakhand at lower altitude in having prostrate runners.
Photographed near Mehalchauri Chamoli district, Uttarakhand.
Mazus was previously in Scrophulariaceae but now it is in Phrymaceae. Very good photographs … Again Majus in the subject line. Should be Mazus.

Mazus surculosus D. Don. … also placed in Phrymaceae
at Auli on 31 JUL 12 This small plant with a tiny flower was very near home and I made a few photos intending to have a closer look later in the evening. Unfortunately, we had a heavy shower this afternoon and I couldn’t find the flower again. I am hoping it is there still buried perhaps under leaves and such.
Mazus surculosus (flowersofindia webpage gives the common name as Suckering Mazus taking it from mazos which is Greek for a teat)

16 July, 2015. very nice Found the first Mazus of the season today and thought I’d share with you. nice to see the basal rosette of leaves Found a white Mazus on my walk today. Is it normal? To me it looks like M. surculosus only but I could be wrong. Please advise. 3 images. The genus Mazus is no longer in the Scrophulariaceae family but Phymaceae which includes

There are two species of Mazus to consider. In ‘Flora Simlensis’ there is also M.rugosus -which Stewart and ‘The Plant List’ has this as M.japonicus.
Flora Simlensis has M.japonicus as the common species at Shimla – he distinguishes it by the lack of runners and calyx lobed half-way down cf. shortly toothed in M.surculosus.
For M.japonicus see: https://www.google.co.uk/searchMazus+japonicus=ssl
Your images show runners. I don’t think that Flora Simlensis calyx characteristic holds true, so M.surculosus does seem the most likely.
I have visited Manali several times. In the mid-1980s I led botanical tours to Lahoul, with Manali as the base, recording Mazus surculosus in the Deodar forest there but did not consider other species at the time.
Small Herb for ID, Sikkim NAW-JUL16-01 : 8 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4) Is it some kind of Mazus sp? Looks like Mazus sp to me Mazus species so far in efi: Mazus pumilus & Mazus surculosus I think these match with images of Mazus surculosus I agree with … We have them here in Dharamshala and I have seen these growing up to 2500m.
