Kindly confirm ID
Astragalus frigidus
Location: Paddar valley J&K.
Altitude: 3401 meters asl

I think flowers and leaves of different species are mixed up


I am uploading another picture. It seems that the flower is on the same plant.
Can it be another species of Astragalus or some different species.

Can this plant be Lathyrus laevigatus
Family: Leguminosae
Kindly have look on below links

Here’s a new addition to efloraofindia website.
Lathyrus emodi (Wall. ex Fritsch) Fritsch ex T.Durand & B.D.Jacks.
Family- Fabaceae
Photographed in Kullu district, Himachal Pradesh
Elevation – ca. 2500 meters
In June 2022


A different Lathyrus. I saw it at an elevation of about 2700m in Tehri district while going to Panwali Kantha alpine zone. It was almost 30 years back. Nice to see it again.


I think the species has been uploaded earlier also but under the name L. laevigatus

It is also on Flowera of India but again under the name Lathyrus laevigatus
Lathyrus laevigatus (Waldst. & Kit.) Gren. is a European species, Indian plant being L. emodi
Both L. laevigatus and Orbus emodi (later L. emodi) were treated as synonyms of L. luteus in L. luteus in FBI
