Commonly planted along roadsides in Kashmir. Photographed from Srinagar, Kashmir.

It is P. szechuanica var. tibetica (detail you can found in Schneider, C.K. 1916. In Sargent, C.S., Plantae Wilsonianae 3(1)-page 20, 33-34. The University Press, Cambridge.

The basic character of the leaf blade of P. ciliata is that it is cordate at base. I attached the type specimen of P. ciliata of Wallich [ Wall. Cat. (List ) No. 2796. CAL ( Accn. no. 445353)].
