Pangi id al080911: A beautiful flower found in Pangi

Location Pangi, Himachal
Altitude 3000 mts
Habit herb
Habitat wild
Plant height 12-14 inches


This appears to be a species of Knautia.


It looks quite close to Knautia arvensis, the ‘Gypsy rose’… but I am just referring the wiki…

I am quite sure.. that it is Knautia sp…. but as to the species… I don’t think it is K. arvensis… but could be K. longifolia… maybe our specialists would like to comment…


I have also found the same plant in Paddar valley J&K. Can this plant be Scabiosa speciosa
Kindly have a look on thr below links.

… is I hope right

If it is a wild plant at 300m alt., it should be Scabiosa speciosa
