Herpetospermum pedunculosum (Ser.) C.B. Clarke, J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 15: 115 1876. (Syn: Bryonia pedunculosa Ser. (Unresolved); Herpetospermum caudigerum Wall. ex Chakrav.; Herpetospermum grandiflorum Cogn.);

VoF Week: Herpetospermum pedunculosum from the trek Govindghat to Ghangriya:

Since Govind Ghat is at an altitude of 6000 ft (around 1800 m) and Ghangariya nearly 10000 ft (3100 m), a rather large altitudinal range and trek of nearly 12 km or so, it would be useful if approximate altitude is mentioned in all uploads to allow proper comments and documentation.

Agreed Sir this was at about 4 kms distance from Govindghat may be about 2200-2400 mts

Herpetospermum pedunculosum from Shimla-2010:  This one shot from “The Ridge” in Shimla is Herpetospermum pedunculosum C. B. Clarke a cucurbit which is reported from Himalayas.
