Valley of Flowers about 10400 ft

Habitat: among rocks
Habit: gregarious small herb many branched from base, about 30 – 40 cm high; leaf about 2 – 3 cm long, flower size – not sure.
… reading through descriptions of Rhodiola in eFloras, Flowers of Himalaya and Keshava Murthy’s VoF book, have confused myself
… getting a feeling that plant posted as Rhodiola wallichiana along Hemakund – Ghangaria trail may be Rhodiola imbricata.


Yes Rhodiola wallichiana

Flora of Uttarakhand- Herb31 for Id- JM:
Wild Herb captured on 13/8/10 during the trek from Ghangaria (around 11,000 ft.) to Hemkunt Sahib (around 14000 ft.).


Its a Crassulaceae but which one? Rhodiola??


Flowers are greenish-yellow and leaves toothed in upper part. How about R. rosea L. subsp. rosea.


R. rosea is so variable. I need to check some more references for this.


May I take it as Rhodiola wallichiana as per the following threads ?:

It seems only the first link is confirmed R. wallichiana. Others perhaps we will have relook after the episode is finished. We will need relook for several others also.

VOF Week: Sedum oreades at VOF: Sedum oreades, a succulent plant (Family: Crassulaceae) from VOF.
Date/Time: 08-08-2012 / 09:30AM


…very nice shots..I hope this was found near the first bridge.. only little inside the entry gate….


I think yes.


This is definitely not Sedum oreades. It is a Rhodiola. I will work on which species in due course. For correct Sedum oreades see recent posts.


In that case it may be Rhodiola wallichiana as per images herein and as per images from Valley of Flowers in FOI at Wallich’s Rhodiola


I repeat that Rhodiola is an extremely difficult genus. I shall look into the genus in the Himalaya further in due course but at this point cannot meaningfully comment further. Much easier to say what a specimen
is not, rather than what definitely is. Will not help the situation of frequent misidentifications by prematurely confirming an identification. At present I am not certain how to distinguish Rhodiola wallichiana.
In some cases the characteristics visible in some photos are insufficient to be sure.

Looks like Sedum Sp. Photo taken from Kalimpong (Apr-09)

Close to Sedum oreades (Decne.) Raym.-Hamet but can not say anything further in view of lack of other details.


This is not Sedum oreadesS.oreades is recorded from bordering Sikkim on stony ground, screes & rock cervices @ 3650-4300m – whereas Kalimpong is around 1250m..
Cannot suggest anything at present.

In that case, It may be closer to Rhodiola wallichiana as per images herein and as per images from Valley of Flowers in FOI at Wallich’s Rhodiola


Given the challenges naming Rhodiolas presents, it is wisest if I do not rush into making statements I cannot substantiate/support.  Makes no sense adding to the confusion.  I am working on Himalayan Rhodiolas but shall take time and concentration……

Segregating posts clubbed due to same subject from …:

Location:Rashan pora Kupwara jammu and Kashmir.


I guess it is close to Rhodiola himalensis (D.Don) S.H.Fu


Yes sir matched with Rhodiola himalensis


kindly check with Rhodiola wallichiana (Hook.) S.H.Fu . Leaves resemble to some extent.


Looks different !
flowersofindia


Stem is creamy white coloured


I guess http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=200009887 is correct ID !
https://www.gbif.org/species/4199131


Yes, appears close to images at Rhodiola wallichiana (Hook.) S.H. Fu as per comparative images at Rhodiola
