Images of this species are available at http://www.easterncoloradowildflowers.Astragalus_agrestis.htm https://commons.wikimedia.org/Category:Astragalus_agrestis? ILDIS does not gives its distribution in India: As to the suggestion of A.agrestis – this species is not recorded for Ladakh, indeed Stewart (an American) does not list it within his ‘Annotated Catalogue’ covering Pakistan & Kashmir – I am sure he would have mentioned it as this is a native of N.America (and E.Asia, whatever that means). Could it be Astragalus zacharensis Bunge ?? https://www.gbif.org/species/5633405 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/289133469_ Taxonomic_and_Distributional_Notes_on_Some _Astragalus_L_Fabaceae_in_India I do not think so. Thanks for your mail. Astragalus is the largest genus in angiosperm. It is difficult to identify the species with photographs. However, it seems your plants belong to Astragalus strictus Grah. ex Benth. |
