Aster species from Paddar valley:
Kindly confirm the Identification
Bot name: Aster falconeri
Family: Compositae
Location: Paddar valley Kishtwar J&K.
Date: 2nd August 2011
Altitude: 3500 meters asl

Its quite challenging to ID the plant as its in bud condition.

I have serious doubts about this being Aster falconeri. I am about to post an image of what I THINK is this species. Flowers of the Himalaya describes A.falconeri has having SOLITARY flower-heads (the specimen photographed in Paddar Valley does not). The foliage does not seem to fit either.

Erigeron multiradiatus (Lindl. ex DC.) Benth. ex C.B.Clarke as per images and details herein and as per comparative images at Erigeron

Id need to be reconsidered in view of observations at
