Rosaceae Fortnight- Potentilla peduncularis from Himachal-GSG42/Sept 2015 : 6 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (1) This does NOT match Potentilla peduncularis – a species not recorded from H.P. but not found further West than Nepal.
There are quite a lot of Potentillas in H.P., some of which I am not familiar with yet. I shall take another look at this when time permits – though have a pretty good idea what it probably is.
You will agree that this does not look at all like the other Potentilla from Ladakh which has been posted under the same name. Thanks for pointing out the mis-identification by me. It sure is not Potentilla peduncularis. Another case of casual matching of images with something similar looking and arriving at identification! I’ll try to be more careful in future. Kindly, help in identification of the species. Matches with P. gerardiana (syn P. frsagarioides sensu Hook.f.) .        ANJUN37/38 Potentilla(?) sp. for identification (Churdhar Trip 37) : 4 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (7)
Family: Rosaceae Potentilla species so far in efi Just now I opened the mail and looked the pictures. Without detail again it is difficult. It is also from Himachal Pradesh. It can be checked with P.saundersiana alongwith other allied species. I think P. gerardiana (syn Potentilla fragarioides sensu Hook. f.) I guess both suggested do not match ! I think appears close to P. gerardiana as suggested by …, as per GBIF – specimen 1 and specimen 2 .

Location Kalatope, Chamba I think Potentilla fragarioides Potentilla fragarioides Or can it be Potentilla gerardiana (syn: Potentilla fragarioides Hook.f. (non L.)), which has distribution in Western Himalaya as per POWO. Yes
Kindly validate I think seem to match with images at Potentilla fragarioides As the name suggests, the leaves are like that. I have checked, it is not in my work. B.K.Dikshit’s book is not with me, please see that. Or can it be Potentilla gerardiana (syn: Potentilla fragarioides Hook.f. (non L.)), which has distribution in Western Himalaya as per POWO. my ID was based on Flora Simlensis. I’ll check for authority. You have rightly pointed out. I’ll mention authority in my future posts as … is doing. According to FLORA SIMLENSIS by Col. Sir Henry Collet, it is Potentilla fragarioides Linn. … has stated these to be Potentilla gerardiana as per Kindly give me some time to go through other Floras from H.P. As per eFlora of Pakistan P. fragarioides of FBI is P. gerardiana. Collet has mostly followed FBI. .
Tried in efi site, but could not get any satisfactory result. Difficult to ID …, from more than 60 species. I think appears close to images at Potentilla fragarioides L. I think you are right Or can it be Potentilla gerardiana (syn: Potentilla fragarioides Hook.f. (non L.)), which has distribution in Western Himalaya as per POWO.
POWO does not show distribution of Potentilla fragarioides L. in the Himalayan area.
BSI checklist also does not mention its distribution in India. Yes …, Himalayan plant is P. gerardiana. ,
Looks somewhat close to your images at Rosaceae Fortnight: Potentilla gerardiana from Ranikhet-GSSEP48/48 Do you agree? Also consider Potentilla fragarioides L. I think you are right Should we take it as P.gerardiana?
