could only manage to grab some shots of each flower before hurrying forward….

I think so sir,
ref: Flowers of Himalayas (supplement) Plate 81 and Flowers of Himalayas 1027, d492

Nice shots. Correctly identified. I was familiar with this 25 years ago in forest above Manali, H.P. – then Wulfenia amherstiana

ID herb:  Plz help in identifying this alpine herb.
Grows at more than 3000 m, picture taken below Sinthan Pass (J & K)

If I had to guess I would say, Wulfenia amherstiana.

Yes, you are correct. Its currently valid name is Wulfeniopsis amherstiana D.Y. Hong

This lithophyte was shot from Chakrata area this week.. (14.8.13)
I hope this should be Wulfeniopsis amherstiana (Benth.) D.Y. Hong..… please validate
Now placed in Plantaginaceae

Yes it is. Seen and collected many times but no digital pics yet. Thanks for showing

Nice shots. Correctly identified. I was familiar with this 25 years ago in forest above Manali, H.P. – then Wulfenia amherstiana.

I think Wulfeniopsis amherstiana only as per images and details herein.

While going through book I came to know that Wulfeniopsis amherstiana (Wall. ex Benth.) D.Y.Hong is found in the Western parts of Nepal only and this is rather Wulfeniopsis nepalensis (T.Yamaz.) D.Y.Hong which is found only in Central Nepal. Even all herbarium sp. in the National Herbarium are 

Wulfeniopsis amherstiana (Wall. ex Benth.) D.Y.Hong from West Nepal.

I think it should be revised and my earlier post also on this sp.

I think keys between the two will help in separating the two.
Pl. post the keys.
Pl. see distribution of both species as per POWO:
https://powo.science.kew.org/names:812946-1 (Wulfeniopsis amherstiana (Benth.) D.Y.Hong: E. Afghanistan to W. Nepal)
https://powo.science.kew.org/names:908228-1 (Wulfeniopsis nepalensis (T.Yamaz.) D.Y.Hong: Central Nepal)

I do not have the keys !

Can you post a description of Wulfeniopsis nepalensis?
Also check with the specimens.

I am trying to find it !

As there are hardly any details on the net and no specimen even in the GBIF for Wulfeniopsis nepalensis, we may keep it only as Wulfeniopsis amherstiana (Wall. ex Benth.) D.Y.Hong for the time being
