This mat forming lithophyte was recorded from Rohtang Pass, Manali, identification needed..
Recorded in October 2015..
Is it some Thylacospermum sp. or else?
Androsace?
Androsace sp to me.
Certainly not Thylacospermum which makes hard and tough cushion which is difficult to uproot. Androsace species so far in efi On checking all the listed species in BSI flora of India Checklist, I feel it may be Androsace muscoidea Duby as per images and details herein, with capsules (?) been seen (as flowers are gone). |
