Yes …, Anaphalis but twig also needed to identify the plant species …
Yes …, Habitat, stem, leaf both sides, whole plant and as far as many images showing all aspects of the sp. would be helpful for quick and proper ID without a tension😂 !
Yes, leaves images will be required for species I’d.

Fruits look different/ do not tally exactly- from those seen on the WEB.
I guess it is matching with Leontopodium nanum (Hook.fil. & Thomson) Hand.-Mazz. according to the elevation, phenology and among the listed in Nepal.
Maybe as per GBIF specimens (one and two) from Nepal.

because closed flower buds are compact and white, look like rice grains in species which in wild has white flowers.

Can it be Leontopodium ochroleucum Beauverd rather than Leontopodium leontopodinum (DC.) Hand.Mazz. as per keys in Flora of China
although Flora of Pakistan considers former to be a syn. of later.
This plant is Leontopodium ochroleucum BeauverdBoth floras mentioned by you consider L. leontopodinum as synonym of this species. Leontopodium leontopodioides (given in Flora of China) is a completely different species.World Flora Online 2020 (http://www.worldfloraonline.org/taxon/wfo-0000080700) accept Lentopodium leontopodinum as correct name.Plants of the World 2019 (http://plantsoftheworldonline.229643-1#synonyms) considere Leontopodium ochroleucum as correct name.Catalogue of Life 2019 (http://www.catalogueoflife.org/details/species/) consider Leontopodium ochroleucum as correct name. Indian literature (Uniyal et al. 2007; Pusalkar & Singh 2012; Karthikeyan et al. 2009 ) have used the name L. leontopodinum as correct name.
So, it is up to us which database we follow. Accordingly the correct name can be used.
Thanks, Rawat ji.In fact there are two species with the same name but different author citations:Leontopodium leontopodioides (Willdenow) Beauverd as an accepted species as per Flora of China.

Anaphalis sp for ID- 27022014-PKA-Feb58 : 5 posts by 3 authors. Attachments(9).
Anaphalis sp. seen at Mullayangiri, Karnataka (Approx. Altitude: 6000 ft)
Family: Asteraceae
Date/Time: 25-01-2014 / 12:40PM
Habitat: Wild
Is this a subscandant shrub, having height not more than 1 metre?This Asteraceae looks like Helichrysum buddleioides.
Yes …, this was small Shrub having height less than 1 m. Thanks for the lead…
Anaphalis beddomei Hook.f. ??
I think it looks different from Anaphalis beddomei as per GBIF– specimen.
I agree with you on rechecking.
On checking all the species of Anaphalis and Pseudognaphalium listed in Flora of Peninsular India, it is closest to Anaphalis beddomei Hook.f. only as per GBIF– specimen, FoPI, Biolib, Biolib 2, IBP.
Sorry, this has been rightly identified as Helichrysum buddleioides DC. as per Plant illustrations Flowers of India GBIF Specimen Kerala Plants

Anaphalis beddomei Hook.f. ??
I think Pseudognaphalium luteoalbum (L.) Hilliard & B.L.Burtt as per comparative images at Pseudognaphalium
Helichrysum luteoalbum (L.) Rchb. syn : Pseudognaphalium luteoalbum (L.) Hilliard & B.L.Burtt looks completely different in Net images and herbarium species at POWO and GBIF. Also, it has got no distribution in Karnataka. Could you please check once?If that is the case, we may have to review the site page as well.
Yes, … I agree with you on rechecking.

ANAPR50 Gnaphalium(?) sp. for identification : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (6)Family: Asteraceae
Date: 24th March 2015
Place: Mullayanagiri, Chikamagaluru, Karnataka
Habit: Herb
Habitat: Grasslands
Gnaphalium luteo-album.
To me it looks like Gnaphalium luteo album-, a woolly herb in grazing slopes at around 2000-2500m above m.s.l.
I guess images of Helichrysum luteoalbum (L.) Rchb. (Syn : Gnaphalium luteoalbum L. ) in FoPI is not correct compared to net images as well as POWO and GBIF or v.v. . And its distribution is not recorded in Karnataka as far as I know.
This is Helichrysum buddleioides DC. as per Plant illustrations Flowers of India GBIF Specimen Kerala PlantsThere is a mix of species in images at FoPI

Anapalis species- North Bengal
ID Request 3 – North Bengal White Wildflowers – 10May09SJ : Attachments (2). 20 posts by 6 authors.And the third one.Danke Schon.
Beautiful flowers – thanks for the continuing show!
These look like species of Pearly Everlasting (Anaphalis). These two pictures could easily be different species – the leaves seem different in the two.
The first one could be Anaphalis margaritacea
FOI
The flowers are not yet open.
The second one could be Anaphalis busua or Anaphalis contorta. I am assuming that some of the flowers are actually open, but the petal- like white bracts remain erect and do not spread out, which is a characteristic of these two species.
First image looks like A. triplinervis and second one A. contorta!
