Je ne trouve rien qui se rapproche de cette plante, aucune idées! Photos prises le 14/04/2016 à 3000met. sur la commune de Bhatwari, Uttarakhand, Inde. Merci d’avance pour vos commentaires!

Hemiphragma heterophyllum AT OCT2016/11 : 15 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (3) Hemiphragma heterophyllum Nice ripe fruits and linear leaves in clusters. Please check DSCN1508 image, probably some other plant as leaves in H.heterophyllum are rounded cordate in shape. I 2nd … I think, the 3rd photograph also belongs to the same plant. The Both types of leaves visible in this photograph. Rounded/cordate This is the plant, which I uprooted for photograph in DSCN1508. Even Nice to be reminded of this plant which I first saw in leech-ridden conditions on my first visit to Nepal in 1990. It is not recorded from Pakistan or Kashmir indeed ‘Flowers of the Himalaya’ give a distribution from Uttaranachal (as it was) through to SW China & SE Asia. I have been two Hatu on a couple of occasions but not noticed this there though as has been indicated Collet recorded it there for ‘Flora Simlensis’ – must be one of its most NW locations. Yes it has dimorphic foliage – cauline leaves variable from orbicular-cordate to ovate or reniform; those on branches fascicled, acicular forming tufts. With berry-like shining red globose fruits one would not automatically think it belonged to the Scrophulariaceae (or was, no doubt transferred to another family now – must check); its flowers are pink. Yes, Hemiphragma has been transferred from Scrophulariaceae to PLANTAGINACEAE…. Yes agree with FoC description. Dried and withered cordate leaves are visible and so are the needle leaves in cluster. The third picture show leaves which are different from cordate and needle leaves that is why was my question. This area is rich in plant diversity. I’ll plan more visits to this place in future. Thank you for adding more information, …
