Small tufted Anaphalis species from Kashmir. Pl. help in ID.
Anaphalis virgata Thomson ??
Thanks, …, for the id.
Following keys in Flora of Pakistan, I feel you may be right.
I also tried other others as per keys (found in Kashmir) like Anaphalis boissieri E. Georgiadou and Anaphalis staintonii E. Georgiadou
Anaphalis virgata Thomson in C. B. Clarke appears more closer as per GBIF – specimen and POWO.
.
Anaphalis nubigena for validation from Kashmir-GS21062022-3: 6 high res. images.
Please confirm the ID of Anaphalis nubigena photographed from Apharwat Kashmir, alt 3200 m, 25-7-2011
Earlier identified as Anaphalis virgata Thomson, as per details herein.Looks different from Anaphalis nubigena (a syn. of Anaphalis nepalensis (Spreng.) Hand.-Mazz. as per POWO).
