Saxifraga !! roylei may be.

---

Saxifraga roylei I think

---

Could this be Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger)?

A clearer picture would help.

I don’t have a clearer picture unfortunately. It was raining a lot that day so I could only do quick photographs whenever the rain would stop. the petals were white, without any veins visible, as in the Henbane

---

Could you please post the original size image? That might help…

Here it is. Attachments (1).

Thanks for the quick response. So, now I can see, they are the rain/dew drops which gave me the illusion of veins! 🙂 Certainly not Hyoscyamus niger.

The leaves look glandular hairy – so, it should not be Saxifraga roylei. There are many other white flowered Saxifraga species to choose from.

Seen a lot of specimens of this plant in my recent trekking to Roopkund-Homkund area in Chamoli.
