Lysimachia sp. for ID ABJUNE2017/04 : 9 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (5) Lysimachia species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net) I hope this should be Lysimachia pyramidalis… Looks different from images at Lysimachia pyramidalis
Pl. check other species at Lysimachia
I tried matching with five species represented from Himachal in efi so far. But unable to match with anyone. I think it is Lysimachia chenopodioides. I will file more photos soon.
Thanks, …,
You are right in your id as Lysimachia chenopodioides
But before seeing your reply, I was doing my own research & reached at the same conclusion. I searched with all the species listed below: We have most of these species in efi site, with which your post does not match.
It matches well with the only species left i.e. Lysimachia chenopodioides as per high resolution specimens and description at GBIF, High resolution specimen, POWO & WFO
Thank you very much … for confirming this. I will soon file more photos as promised.
