This seems most likely to be Valeriana hardwickii – unless anyone knows better?
Flora of Kathmandu Valley records this from 1500-2000m.
Local Name: ‘Nakali jatamasi’.
Flowers of Himalaya say it is distinguished by its 1-3 pairs of pinnate stem leaves with 3-7 leaflets. The specimen photographed is very small as it is typically from 30-180cm! Large examples produce dense terminal domed clusters forming a pyramidal inflorescence.
Distribution: Pakistan to SW China @ 1500-4000m, shrubberies & open slopes.
Flora of Simlensis has this as common at Shimla & Mushobra with the root exported to the plains partly for medicinal use but mainly as a perfume. Is this still the case I wonder? There is a line drawing – though of a large example than the one photographed at Kalinchowk.
According to Stewart, V.hardwickii is common in Kashmir @ 1400-4000m, recorded from Gulmarg, Sonamarg, Pahlgam etc.

Picture quality not good due to mobile click.
Thanks, …, Comparative images available at
Could not get match …! absolute bottom needs to be seen. the upper leaves and the vertical ridges in the stems and pedicels of the inflorescence reminds me of celery, but that’s just me, speaking from eating celery stalks and sometimes the umbels if available. i may be wrong we need some taxonomists to look at it Closest I can go is Sanicula elata Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don
But it is different.
Find some species in this or related genera.
Valeriana hardwickii Wall.
POWO says Valeriana hardwickei Wall.
Must be a mistake as IPNI records name as Valeriana hardwickii Wall. No results are obtained on searching IPNI for Valeriana hardwickei.
Search in WCSP does not give any results for either of the names. POWO and WCSP (both from KEW), share the same verified data, where ever available. That means that WCSP does not have verified data for this taxon.
