May be Thalictrum secundum (T. pauciflorum Royle) but not very sure.

Yes, I am agree with …

Many many thanks … and … for the ID.

Looks different as per GBIF specimens from India– Specimen 1 and specimen 2

Thalictrum platycarpum Hook.f. & Thomson !

---

I pursued keys in Flora of Pakistan.

Yes, appears close to Thalictrum platycarpum Hook.f. & Thoms. as per FOP illustration and GBIF– specimen rather than Thalictrum cultratum Wall. as per FoP illustration and GBIF – specimen and Thalictrum elegans Wall. ex Royle as per FoP illustration.

Many thanks … for resolving this long pending query.

Revised my notes in flickr.
