. Endemic to a long geographic range in the Hindukush Himalayas from Bhutan in the east to Pakistan in the west. The western limit of this species is district Swat (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province), Pakistan. It occurs on higher elevations between 1500 and 3000 m. The habitats of the species are commonly the Himalayan moist temperate forests (evergreen forests of conifers between 1500 to 3000 m elevations), rarely subalpine or open alpine lands (above 3000 m). We collected it from open stony alpine slopes and stream side slopes in a V-shaped mountain valley. The associated vegetation was either alpine herbs or conifers, and herbaceous to shrubby flora as per Taxonomy of Vincetoxicum s.str.

09 July, 2016 It may be Cynanchum sp. (family Asclepidaceae). Looks like an Apocynaceae. Thank you … I saw this plant on my walk on Sunday again. There were no flowers this time but the beans were in pairs. I plucked one leaf to check for the milky sap but there was none. I am not sure what I did wrong. Perhaps I should have broken the leaf in stead of expecting milky sap from the leaf stem. Not all Apocynaceae has milky latex. Not Asclepiadaceae is merged under Apocynaceae.

Vincetoxicum canescens ABMAY01/2018 : 4 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (10) I found this milkweed near home this time. I had photographed it earlier and posted to the group here. Revisiting the ID, I found it to be not V. hirundinaria as the description in Flowers of the Himalaya states: ‘Corolla c. 5mm across, with nearly hairless triangular lobes‘ and ‘calyx-lobes triangular, nearly as long as corolla‘ for V. hirundinria.
The plants here have hair on the inside of corolla lobes and calyx is much shorter than the corolla. The description matches more closely to the Cynanchum glaucum in Flora Simlensis: ‘Calyx about half as long as the corolla. Corolla hairy on the inner surface.‘
Tibetan Medicinal Plant treats C. glaucum (V. glaucum) as a synonym of V. canescens and describes it as:
‘Corolla yellow or green fading to greenish orange; tube approximately 1mm; lobes ovate, 2-3 x 1.5 mm, hairless outside, sparsely hirsute inside; sepals less than 1mm.’
But the authors treat it as part of the larger V. hirundinaria group perhaps because medicinal properties are similar.
FOP says: ‘Perennial undershrub, c. 15-70 cm tall, erect to twining, pubescent. Leaves 4-7 cm x 1.8-6 cm, ovate-lanceolate or cordate, glabrous to pubescent, entire, acute to acuminate. Flowers clustered in the leaf axils. Pedicels 4-5 mm long. Calyx lobes c. 1.5 mm long, lobes oblong to lanceolate, acute. Corolla c. 4 mm long, cream to greenish, lobes hairy on the inner surface. Corona lobes 5, obtuse. Follicles 5-6 x 1-1.5 (-2) cm, gradually tapering towards the tip.
Fl. Per.: June-September.‘
I made some measurements too:
Plants 40-80cm tall, pubescent. Leaves c. 5cm x 7cm, bottom ones smaller and blunt-tipped, hairy on the nerves underneath and on the edges. Flowers greenish-yellow c. 1cm across, 5-7 petals (lobes), smooth outside but hairy on the inside; sepals narrow c. 1.5-2mm each. Pedicels 4-5mm.
And since the plants are flowering at the moment, I can say Late-April is more correct than June.
Considering the above information, I would like to think that the plants here (and on our site) are V. canescens. Please advise.

It is V. hirundinaria with corolla glabrous inside, In V. canescens it is densely hairy inside. Both occur in Kashmir. Corolla lobes are not clearly focused in the images, but I see some hairs. Going through the images in efi site I still fill this should be Vincetoxicum hirundinaria Medik. !
