Look like Euphrasia..


Euphrasia species so far in efloraofindia


Do you have any other images ?


Thank You Sir. Unfortunately I have only two clear images.


Yes, this is Euphrasia.
As ‘Flowers of the Himalaya’ rightly states this is a very difficult genus with c. 13 spp. all very similar in general appearance. The Himalayan species need further critical studies.
Earlier, Stewart had recognised 6 species in Ladakh (thanks to input by a specialist).
Dickore & Klimes list only 1 species for Ladakh. Yet Klimes spoke of Euphrasia spp. in short pasture along rivers (I think they meant streams).
So really needs input by a specialist.

Not an easy job. Euphrasia platyphylla Pennell??
