Potentilla fruticosa from Ladakh (16/06/2011 NSJ-01):
Potentilla fruticosa from Ladakh. Pl validate.


Not Potentilla fruticosa …, which is a shrub and not with silky leaves.
Not very sure, but this could be P. peduncularis.


I hope Potentilla sericea

Potentilla pamirica Th.Wolf as per Rosaceae Week – Potentilla Sp. (NSJ-03/10/11 -04)


,


Photo taken at Khardungla village (~ 16000 feet) in June 2011
botanical ID yet to be confirmed

The closest I can think is Potentilla peduncularis


Yes Sir looks like Potentilla peduncularis


This does NOT match Potentilla peduncularis – a species not only not recorded from Ladakh but not found further West than Nepal!
There are quite a lot of Potentillas in Ladakh, some of which I am not familiar with yet.  I shall take another look at this when time permits.

Do not currently have time to look closely into the 33 + species of Potentilla currently recorded for Ladakh.
I only listed 14 species in my informal check-list for Ladakh in the 1980s!
Requires not just days probably WEEKS of sustained effort to understand the genus better in Ladakh – let alone the Himalaya as a whole…..

Potentilla pamirica Th.Wolf ??


Thanks, …, for the id.
Yes, appears close as per FOI an GBIF specimens:

Potentilla saundersiana Royle ??

I think close to images images and details at https://efloraofindia.com/2020/12/07/potentilla-pamirica/

Potentilla gerardiana Lindl. ex Lehm. ??


Potentillas are notoriously critical and any identification from a photo a wild guess in any case. To me is looks like Potentilla pamirica, but not guaranteed.
