Theropogon pallidus (Asparagaceae) from Uttarakhand : Attachments (3). 4 posts by 4 authors.
Theropogon pallidus (Wall. ex Kunth) Maxim. (Liliaceae) is an unfrequent lily found in temperate Himalaya from Uttarakhand to Arunachal Pradesh. 
Without flowers it resembles grasses/ sedges as visible in first picture, therefore, escapes notice. Most often it occurs as epiphyte over moist rocks or tree trunks. Flowers are tiny, hardly up to 1 cm across.
Now it is in Asparagaceae.
It is a new addition to eflora India.
Photographed in Kali Valley of Pithoragarh district Uttarakhand at an altitude of 2000m.
