A plant by the roadside blooming now Location Kalatope, Chamba
Altitude 2100 mts Habit herb Habitat Wild Height 20 inches Agrimonia eupatoria Oh yes Gemeine Odermennig (Agrimonia eupatoria/) supposed to have magical powers against witches. 😉 THANKS… really needed this potion… according to the villagers.. I have been bewitched.. which is why I go around like a madman…. poking around the bushes… running after the birds and butterflies.. and sometimes even on my knees and elbows in the mud… :)) Taking it as Agrimonia aitchisonii Schonb.Tem. (syn: Agrimonia eupatoria sensu Hook.f.) as per discussions at Rosaceae Week: Agrimonia eupatoria subsp. asiatica from Chakrata Deovan Road     Agrimonia eupatoria Linnaeus subsp. asiatica (Juzepczuk) Skalický, Feddes Repert. 79: 35. 1968.
Perennial herb with horizontal rhizome, glandular hairy; leaves uninterruptedly imparipinnate with 3-5 leaflets, margin crenate; flowers 11-13 mm across in spike-like terminal racemes, yellow; fruit
8-10 mm across with spreading prickles, outer most prickles recurved. European and American var. eupatoria is distinct in erect rootstock, being less hairy and less deeply grooved calyx
Another Himalayan species A. pilosa is distinct in smaller flowers (7-9 mm across), fruit 7-8 mm with rickles initially erect later becoming connivent.

Id has to be reconsidered as Agrimonia eupatoria Linnaeus subsp. asiatica (Juzepczuk) Skalický does not have any distribution in India or Pakistan as per BSI Flora of India, POWO, Flora of China, Flora of Nepal and CoL On the other hand, BSI Flora of India mentions another species as Agrimonia aitchisonii Schonb.Tem. (syn: Agrimonia eupatoria sensu Hook.f.) with distribution in Western Himalayas. (POWO and CoL give its distribution in Pakistan).
Can we find out the difference between Agrimonia aitchisonii Schonb.Tem. (syn: Agrimonia eupatoria sensu Hook.f.) and A.pilosa ? Should we take it as Agrimonia aitchisonii Schonb.Tem. (syn: Agrimonia eupatoria sensu Hook.f.)? As no feedback received, I am taking it as Agrimonia aitchisonii Schonb.Tem. (syn: Agrimonia eupatoria sensu Hook.f.) for the time being.     Kalatope id September al280911a:
Yellows always confuse me since while driving by.. from a distance I cannot make out the difference… Location Kalatope, Chamba Himachal
Altitude 2100 mts Habit herb Habitat wild Plant height 30 inches Agrimonia eupatoria ssp. asiatica Yes Sir same as we saw in Chakrata area How we differentiate between the two species Agrimonia pilosa and A. eupatoria Here it is …, fruits are the easiest identification
Agrimonia eupatoria Agrimonia pilosa

Thanks Sir I am also uploading mines. You are also there in these pics with this plant Pl include photograph of fruit from … set. It is diagnostic character for this species good for gout… yes …
In olden times.. in western herbal uses …oil was made with all parts of the plants or leaves and roots… used externally.. on affected joints… toes? for Internal use….and a tea was made of leaves… usually a handful (is what they said in class) ( I find a tea bag contains about 1gm of dry herb, any herb, usually translates to 5 grams of fresh, if succulent about 10 grams) I personally think Agrimony reduces edema and so helps in gout related swelling…
Modern herbalists prescribe it for many different things for which I dont have any confidence.. they use it for upset stomach??? why??? no one can tell… and as gargle… that I can understand… it reduces inflammation…. ONE CAVEAT…
ANY HERB(S) that one uses… use it for five days, lay off for two days… continue upto five weeks if needed, and lay off for two weeks… this is a caution every one must follow…
If people have gout… they must lay off many things in diets… local GP can help make a diet plan based on the patient’s dietary habits which are soooo very different in different part of India… DID this answer your question???
I think this plant is Agrimoni pilosa, for the following reasons. The flower size created doubt in my mind also, but the fruit in … photographs led me to think about A. eupatoria. In A. pilosa the spines on fruit are erect when young, connivent when old. In A. eupatoria they are spreading, outermost recurved http://efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=100836
The fruit in … photograph very much resemles that of …, Most plants of Kalatope are covered in Flora Simlensis, which does not describe A. pilosa.

The two species are very close. It would be best to wait till my next visit to Kashmir in 2012, where I may be able to find and photograph A. aupatoria, because A. pilosa does not grow in Kashmir.

As I am going to Kashmir for ten days on Sept 1 I may not be able for some initial days due to non availability of internet there. As such I am beginning uploads of Rosaceae Fortnight two days earlier. I will complete remaining upon returning from Kashmir.
