Spiraea vacciniifolia D. Don ?? : 7 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (6)

Location : Chandragiri Hills, Kathmandu, Nepal

Elevation : 8200 ft.
Date : 28 June 2018

Habit : Wild

Looks different from … images at Spiraea vaccinifolia

Did not find much description in thd efn.
http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=131015

On further scrutiny and as per details and references herein, I feel it may be Spiraea vaccinifolia D.Don only.

I saw the Keys available in Flora of Nepal- Online Flora (as per this Spiraea micrantha and Spiraea bella are very close).
As per these keys and detailed description, it is Spiraea micrantha.
