VOF Week: Astragalus candolleanus??? en-route Vasundhara Falls:
More or less prostrate herb seen en-route Vasundhara falls. Could this be Astragalus candolleanus??
Family: Fabaceae.

I think Yes for Astragalus candolleanus

Perhaps yes. Good photographs

Astragalus/ Oxytropis- Amarnath Yatra: 10 images.

Herb was seen at around 11000 ft. along slopes on 7.7.26, on the trek to Pissu Top (11,800 ft.) from Chandanwari (9,500 ft.) during the Amarnath Yatra.

Could not find a match using the comparative images at

Astragalus nainitalensis L.B.Chaudhary ??

I guess we need to ask Prof. Chaudhary.

It is Astragalus candolleanus.

Yes, it appears close to the images (though with a much light colour) at
