?Astragalus grahaminus Adding picture nsince it is not seen… Not Astragalus grahamianus which has stiff persistent leaf axes at base of plant. This is Astragalus rhizanthus Royle . Fabaceae-Faboideae (Papilionaceae) Week : Shrubs/Herbs :Astragalus rhizanthus Spiti valley.:

Regarding Astragalus rhizanthus page some feedback from …:
“Have my doubts about some of the others suggested to be A.rhizanthus – though one could expect a different habit if growing in arid Ladakh cf. Kashmir. Just to confuse things further, there is A.grahamianus which is not listed for Ladakh but Stewart has it in Baltistan. Flowers of Himalaya have this species in Kashmir and Lahoul. Complicated…..”
Pl. have a re-look if possible.
Unidentified plant , Chaka kanda , Himachal, June -2017- 1 : 1 post by 1 author. Attachments (1) It is some Astragalus species. Kindly provide the place and month of the photograph. Appears more close to Astragalus rhizanthus Loc- was Chaka Kanda, June -2017. Also observed near Rakchham village. Is it in Kinnaur? Yes …! Chaka kanda is exact opposite mountain range to mt Kinner-Kailash in Kalpa. Thanks, … May I request you to pl. size larger size images or original images as I am finding difficulty in seeing the sepals.
…. may be of Astragalus rhizanthus Benth. based on the existing details I can observe .
.
I think this should be Astragalus candolleanus Thanks for the suggestion its a Astragalus candolleanus. Also looked at what you have as A.rhizanthus susbp. candolleanus: efi thread I think it is more likely to be Astragalus rhizanthus Royle ex Bentham in Royle as per keys at Flora of China.
