These flowers (only) were recorded from way to Ghanghariya from Gobind Ghat during trek to VOF and Hemkund, I hope this can be Diploclisia glaucescens ..
Please suggest if otherwise..

Diploclisia genus is not known in Uttarakhand.
Inflorescence in the pics is considerably smaller than D.glaucescens (up to 50cm).
Please see D.glaucescens in eFI page.
Such small inflorescence, as I remember, occur in Stephania.

Could this be some Stephania sp… may be Stephania glabra???

Thanks …
