VOF Week: Aralia cachemirica from the Trek: This was found along Gobind Ghat-Ghanghariya trek….and is Aralia cachemirica most probably…hope to get validating/rectifying comments…


I am assuming we are seeing — budding and fruiting in at least two pictures: (7).JPG and (12).JPG


Thanks … yes here are buds and “would be” fruits, as I believe the buds belong to male flowers…


Very nice find
Family : Araliaceae


Interesting. Thanks a lot for sharing. I never saw this. I like Araliaceae sometimes 🙂
