Mustard family abounds.. this time of the year…

Location Kalatope
Habitat wild
Habit Herb

Altitude 2100 mt
Height 18 inches

flowers with a tinge of pink


This one I also photographed last year from Gulmarg Kashmir. Could not get identified for want of fruits. Let us wait for fruits in your plant. Get some good close ups of fruits when they come up.



This one too is also fruiting now.. am posting the photo as you asked..

Length of mature fruit? diameter of flower?



here are the dimensions


Lysimachia lobelioides ? Not too sure though


No … An Arabis sp., from Brassicaceae. Stem leaves are not clear but could be Arabis alpina


Or perhaps Arabis amplexicaulis would be better option



Thank you … I think … is absolutely right.. but… here is the view of stem leaves in case still required…

… same query put earlier:
VoF Week :: DV :: 04 AUG 12 – 1135 :: dainty-flowered wire-stemmed herb along Ghangaria – Govind Ghat trail
… comment that the flowers of Arabis amplexicaulis are 8-10 mm across makes me rethink … the flowers in this post may not be 3 – 5 mm across as I guessed; it could be 6 – 8 mm.
… very close to plant in … post:
VOF Week: Brassicaceae sp along Govindghat-Ghangaria route
The plant in this post resembles very well in form, shape to that of plant in … post, including the leaves.
Have a strong feeling this plant is Arabis amplexicaulis unless there are any close species bearing


I think yes. Nice photographs

Arabis amplexicaulis I hope. Better closer photographs should help.


Yes, i too think Arabis amplexicaulis . Close up of leaf base will help.


I think this is the same plant as … with a leaf in focus…can this help…extremely sorry for cross posting but felt like doing so..


Flowers of Arabis amplexicaulis are 8-10 mm across. The flowers seen in the pics, also of …, here are way too tiny.


Putting cropped photos here – I do not have any other better views.
These look close to what … has attached, except – leaves and sepals in my plant do not seem to be as hairy – BUT it can be due to fuzziness in my original picture.
Prashant hopefully will be uploading his photos of the same plant.
