I think Euphrasia platyphylla Pennell as per comparative images at Euphrasia Not sure. Most of them looks similar. By the Way platyphylla is not listed in Book of Karnali Province! Can you post the keys? Did not find keys ! May be found in Flora of Bhutan. Both sp. keys are not there ! Flora of Bhutan gives three species, all of which are not found in Nepal: Details/ keys also not available in IBIS Flora, Flora of Pakistan or Flora of China and BSI Flora of India. Yes …, I tried too. With these keys (glandular hairy) and distribution in the book and POWO– specimen, we should take it as Euphrasia himalayica Wettst. .

Ascending herb with orbicular deeply serrate leaf from Badrinath area. Euphrasia sp. Pl. check with species at Euphrasia (as pointed out be …). I think appears close to images at Euphrasia himalayica
I agree with … I saw them flowering well on our higher slopes in August. Here are some photos from my last year’s post.

This is now placed under Orobanchaceae, formerly in Scrophulariaceae    Flora of Uttarakhand- Herb49 for Id- JM : Attachments (3). 4 posts by 4 authors. Wild Herb captured on 13/8/10 during the trek from Ghangaria (around 11,000 ft.) to Hemkunt Sahib (around 14000 ft.) Euphrasia himalayica Euphrasia himalayica Wettst., Monogr. Euphrasia 180, t. 4, f. 291-295 (1896) I think more closer to images at Euphrasia platyphylla Pennell rather than those at Euphrasia himalayica Wettst. Taking it as Euphrasia himalayica, as per discussions at SK 3071 23 October 2021
VoF Week : Impatiens devendrae (slight variation or different species): Family : Balsaminaceae
Habit : Herb
Habitat : Hill slope, open forest
Date of click : 14th Aug`12
Location: Valley of Flowers National Park, Uttarakhand .
Abundance : Single sighting. This is not Impatiens…rather Euphrasia officinalis…have you attached a wrong picture … ? I am sorry … It was my mistake that I went for saying it I. devendrae because it looked similar. I cant find any ref of Euphrasia officinalis on The plant list, FoI , Vof Book, Consise flora of Himalayas book. Sir, do you have a link to cite the species. I can see Euphrasia himalayica (on FoI & in concise flowers of Himalaya book) is that the same? I have similar sighting; thought it could be Euphrasia platyphylla as per K R Keshava Murthy’s VoF book. E. officinalis is not an Indian species, and is not found in the Himalayas. The description and picture of Euphrasia himalayica seems to agree well with the plant found in the Valley of Flowers. Don’t know about E. platyphylla, so cannot comment. However, Euphrasia is a notoriously difficult genus. Yes multiple species described because of apomictic nature like Taraxacum. The species are difficult to distinguish unless closeups with hairs are shown. In E. himalayica the leaves and bracts are mostly fallen by anthesis. Also yellow corolla throat and reddish lines on upper lip suggest E. platyphylla. Taking it as Euphrasia himalayica, as per discussions at SK 3071 23 October 2021

What are the species reported from your area?
This is important as this genus is very area specific (with minor differences between different species) as per Pennell.
as per the checklist of Plants of KWLS there are 2 species reported from the area E. himalayica and E. platyphylla, attaching one more Image. Thanks, we should take it as Euphrasia himalayica Wettst., as per images and details herein and as per keys in Scrophulariaceae of the Western Himalayas By Francis . Pennell (1943) .
