SCROPHULARIACEAE Fortnight: Kashmiria himalaica from Uttarakhand_DSR_6 : Attachments (2). 3 posts by 3 authors.
Kashmiria himalaica (Hook.f.) D.Y.Hong [=Falconeria himalaica Hook.f.; Wulfennia himalaica (Hook.f.) Pennell] is a very rare species endemic to Uttarakhand (and probably Western Nepal ?).
It grows on rocky slopes, between rock crevices and below rocks.
Interestingly, it has two habitats known in Uttarakhand, one at Munsyari area where I photographed it, and another at Tungnath where … has photographed it this summer and loaded it on our group today.
I must say that the photographs of … are the first ever pics of this species on web.
Congratulations … Thanks for sharing these rare beauties. All your posts are really very informative and high-quality.
