There are many Himalayan plants that have only past reports.

Re-surveying and reporting these plants makes both taxonomic and conservation sense.

For e.g. the other day, I first time saw and collected Anemone falconeri – rather rare plant in Kashmir.
Pics attached.

Unique uploads … thanks for showing your rare finds..
