This herb was recorded from Cherrapunji Road, Shillong, Meghalaya..
Apparently this appeared to be wild, leaves 2-3 pinnate, close to ground, inflorescence on long peduncle, flowers deep pink…. identification help please..

I think it is Astilbe [Saxifragaceae]


Thanks …, Astilbe is quite agreeable…


Thanks, …, for the initial Id.
We have only Astilbe rivularis only as a wild species so far in efi.
Pl. check with comparative images at Astilbe

… is right. I had collected the same in North Sikkim at 8000 ft. from the bank of Lachen Chu.

Sir, You can see astilbe rubra… If you cant find then you search for Aruncus genus of Rosaceae.


Thanks a lot … for confirmation and … for further suggestion. Generic level id seems to be right..


I think it should be Astilbe rubra as suggested by … as per comparative images and details of species at Astilbe and as per keys at Flora of China and details at Flora of China & FoC illustration
