Fragaria daltoniana Gay ? Only this image!

Yes, appears close as per GBIF specimen from Nepal.
Checklist of Nepal gives its elevation as 2000-2800 m.
However, for Fragaria rubiginosa Lacaita elevation is given as 2800-3600 m (which has been given as a syn. of Fragaria daltoniana as per POWO)

Yes, it appears so. But calyx is appressed to the fruit.
Maybe it spreads on maturity or there is a variation.
