Allardia glabra Decne [=Waldheimia glabra(Decne.) Regel] is a rarer alpine perennial herb usually growing above 4000m altitude in Uttarakhand. Entire plant is aromatic and makes mat over the ground.
It is in fact reproduced from a photograph of my optical camera; hence the quality is not up to the mark.
Here photographed above Kedarnath, Uttarakhand at an altitude of 4600m.    Asteraceae Week (Part I – Radiate heads) :: Waldheimia glabra from Lahul :: PKA35:: : Attachments (3). 5 posts by 4 authors.

Flowers of Himalaya (FOH) gives a very simple and user friendly classification of Himalayan Asteraceae plants. 1) Of course this comes under the group of plants where flower heads with both tubular disc florets and strap shaped ray florets. Next it comes under the group in which pappus is present. . Waldheimia glabra from Uttarakhand: Sep. 2014_DSR_3 : 3 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (1).

Sharing some pictures I guess is Waldheimia vestita (Hook. f. et Thoms. ex C. B. Clarke) Pamp. shot on the way to Khardung La Leh on 22 August 2014 at around 14000 ft.
Or could it be Waldheimia nivea (Hook.f. & Thomson ex C.B.Clarke) Regel
Leaves do suggest W. vestita. I guessed so. Your last two in the set of 4 look W. glabra to me. I agree with … view on the two photographs, in the set of four, which show bright green leaves. .
Yes ! .
This was at the Chang la (the top) next to Chang la baba mandir, Ladakh in August 2022.
Allardia nivea 1st set of images are of Waldheimia glabra, as per images and details herein. Yes first set is Allardia glabra (accepted name according to both POWO and COL) I had completely missed the difference in the leaves and thought both of them to be of the same species. . References:
