VoF Week :: DV :: 03 AUG 12 – 0436 :: ¿ Solidago ? along Hemakund – Ghangaria trail: 3 AUG 12 I think yes Solidago virga-aurea Yes Solidago virga-aurea This was also common in Chakrata
Aster I think won’t have yellow heads. Looks like some Senecio, but difficult to say without leaves in focus. Won’t be surprised with Solidago virga-aura Am convinced it to be Solidago virga-aurea.

Solidago virgaurea—European Goldenrod?
Above Mcleodganj, Dharamshala, HP
2100m
09 July 2016 I think matches with images at Solidago virgaurea L. On my Saturday trek to Triund, I saw these goldenrods in good numbers. Here are some photos. Please correct me if I have been wrong in identifying these as Solidago virgaurea. 6 images. This must surely be ‘Golden Rod’, though certainly not just exclusively a European plant. Found from Pakistan to Central Nepal and temperate Eurasia incl. the UK. The only species of this genus known from the Himalaya.
Stewart found it to be very common in the temperate and lower alpine zone in Pakistan & Kashmir from 1700-3700m, commenting that the pubescence was variable.
Collet found it to be common at Shimla (Flora Simlensis).
Flowers of Himalaya, say “light forests & open slopes” which fits with the habit shown.
In the UK, the species is described as “very polymorphic, with many named varieties differing in stature, pubescence, size, shape and serration of leaves, branching of inflorescence and size of individual heads.
I wonder if one day a taxonomist will recognise these variants as sub-species or even species and so we will have to examine Himalayan specimens more closely!
The common “Golden-rod” of gardens in the UK is S.canadensis but have information on this being cultivated (or escaping) in Himalayan districts.
