a herb from high altitudes: Here I am with one more herb from Himachal. This plant is quite common between 3400-4000m altitude. It’s a tiny herb aall.nd I don’t think it grows very tall. I could neither get a good photo of this plant nor of the inflorescence. Still I hope somebody will be able to ID this plant.
