Saxifraga hispidula D.Don (Saxifragaceae) is a rare species in alpine zones of Uttarakhand. I have seen it in two areas only in Uttarakhand.

Here photographed in Pattar Nachauniya alpine meadow in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand.

In Google search there is only one picture of this species from China, no representation from India or Nepal (?).

This species is new for eFI database.

Nice picture

even the small white hair on the leaf is showing

Thanks a lot … for showing this rare beauty…

Adding something new to the huge database is an achievement, you are adding many..!!
