VoF Week :: DV :: 02 AUG 12 – 0233 :: Ribes himalense at Valley of Flowers: Ribes himalense Royle ex Decne. … (family: Grossulariaceae) 2 AUG 12
Valley of Flowers … about 11000 – 12000 ft Seeing red almost translucent currants makes my mouth water.. wonder if this variety is edible?
yes …, this variety is edible.
Thanks a lot … for posting this beautiful pix, on the basis of this a could id my tow species, i.e. Ribes himalense & Ribus alpestre. I will try to post them for validation some time later. Thanks again.
A feedback from another thread from …:
“………… I note that images a Ribes from VOF have been named as R.himalense. This needs to be checked. Flowers of the Himalaya
say “in drier areas only” for this species and I do not think VOF counts as a ‘drier’ area. Also, if one refers to the book, ‘Valley of Flowers’ it has Ribes glaciale Wall. …………..”
Thanks … for pointing out the need for check of the posted plant’s ID.
Keys in Flora of Pakistan lead me to Ribes glaciale Wall. only.
Thanks very much … for scrutinizing the ID. I will revise my notes at flickr at the soonest.
