Could this be Chaerophyllum villosum? The leaves have hair underneath and the stalk covered in white hair.
Please advise.

Kindly identify this herb photographed on the sandrasi meadows along the trail to Manimahesh, Himachal Pradesh, at the altitude of about 3600 metres, in June 2017.


Pl. check comparative images at /species/a—l/a/apiaceae


/species/a—l/a/apiaceae/chaerophyllum species. Pl. check out of these three species.


Thank you …  Could it be Chaerophyllum villosum? That seems closest because of the reddish tone of stems.
