Anaphalis contorta<\/em> :\u00a0<\/b>Stems erect or ascending
\nAnaphalis busua\u00a0<\/em> : Stems erect, (2-)5-6(-13) cm, with ascending or expanding branches
\nI feel this is more close to\u00a0<\/span>Anaphalis contorta<\/i>\u00a0(D. Don) Hook. f. !<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n

As per keys in Flora of Pakistan:
\n1 Leaves often long auricled and with a decurrent base,<\/strong> often short lived without a woody base or branched system. … Anaphalis busua<\/strong>
\n+ Leaves not or scarcely decurrent<\/strong> with a woody base or branched system. (2)
\n……………………….
\nIn view, it is Anaphalis busua<\/em> (Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don) DC.<\/p>\n

\n

there seems to be some mix up of Anaphalis<\/em> specimens in our posts. A. busua<\/em> is characterised by distinctly decurrent leaf bases. This is seen clearly in my specimen from Manali in this post<\/p>\n

Rest of messages from Baratkhai, I think don’t belong to A. not even A. contorta, because leaves are densely velvety beneath in A. contorta<\/em><\/div>\n
Similarly above images of … have no trace of decurrent base, although auricles are found. We may have to find better ID for them.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This is another one growing at 2750m on Phulchowki in Nepal.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Is this an Anaphalis<\/em>?<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Yes!<\/p>\n

\n

Maybe Anaphalis royleana<\/em> DC.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>as per comparative images at <\/span>Anaphalis<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Yes, I believe that is correct. Especially one set of images look very similar. I will put it on my Phulchowki blog and see if at a future date someone corrects it.<\/p>\n

\n

So far it is not recorded at Phulchoki and no herbarium record !<\/p>\n

\n

I guess this is\u00a0Anaphalis busua<\/em><\/span>\u00a0(Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don) DC<\/span>. !<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

Not sure about A. busua<\/i> as per the image and its morphology…<\/p>\n

\n

Check for A. contorta<\/i> or A. royleana<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Expert of Anaphalis<\/em> validated as\u00a0Anaphalis\u00a0busua<\/em><\/span>\u00a0(Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don) DC.<\/span> !<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

May I request you for high resolution image along with side view, for verification as per Anaphalis busua<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
I have two images from a place near the first image. I think this might help. It might be Anaphais\u00a0<\/i>royleana<\/i> from the photos I saw on your eflora site.<\/div>\n
\n

2 images- 6 & 7 mb each.<\/p>\n

\n

Yes, I agree with Anaphalis busua<\/em><\/span><\/a>\u00a0due to decurrent base of the leaves, almost forming a wing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Again an\u00a0Anaphalis<\/i>\u00a0sp. shot\u00a0from Chakrata<\/span>\u00a0in a different period of time\u2026. compared to\u00a0Anaphalis\u00a0<\/i>1\u00a0<\/b>posted for id\u2026 this looks similar to that one.. can this be sorted out?<\/p>\n

\n

All\u00a0Anaphalis\u00a0<\/i>are really confusing. Its good that you have documented many of them so nicely that some day we will reach to conclusion.<\/p>\n

\n

I also hope so \u2026 certainly I will keep a closer look this time to get any conclusive pics.. thanks for your nice words\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

Anaphalis are indeed difficult to identify. Providing a key for identification of common species.<\/p>\n

\n

Keys for common Anaphalis species in West Himalaya, based on Naithani (1984):<\/b><\/p>\n

1a. Involucral bracts acute, spreading in flowers<\/p>\n

2a. Head diameter 1.2-2.5cm<\/p>\n

3a. Leaves 1.2-5 cm long; involucral bracts ovate-lanceolate<\/p>\n

4a. Lower leaves spathulate half amplexicaule\u2026.A.cuneifolia<\/b><\/p>\n

4b. Lower leaves obovate-spathulate, contracted at base..\u00a0A.nepalensis<\/b><\/p>\n

3b. Leaves 5-10cm long; involucral bracts ovate-lanceolate acute\u2026A.triplinervis<\/b><\/p>\n

2b. Head diameter 0.6-0.8 cm<\/p>\n

5a. Stout roots, plants woody based, twisted, with many short branches having linear spathulate leaves, involucral bracts with a broad brown claw\u2026.A.xylorhiza<\/b><\/p>\n

5b. Root woody but stem not twisted, many, involucral bracts white \u2026.A.royleana<\/b><\/p>\n

1b. Involucral bracts, obtuse, erect in head<\/p>\n

6a. Lanceolate leaves<\/p>\n

7a. Leaves thin, lower surface cinnamon red or grey\u2026A.margaritacea<\/b><\/p>\n

7b. Leaves thick, lower surface white \u2026A.adnata<\/b><\/p>\n

6b. Linear leaves<\/p>\n

8a. Leaves 3.8-5 cm long<\/p>\n

9a. Basal lobe long, decurrent, involucral bracts elliptic oblong, 2-2.5 mmlong\u2026A.busua<\/b><\/p>\n

9b. Basal lobes narrow, apiculate, involucral bracts linear oblong, 4mm long \u2026A.virgata<\/b><\/p>\n

8b. Leaves 1.2-2.5 cm long, basal lobes short \u2026A.contorta<\/b><\/p>\n

HOWEVER, to follow keys plant specimens, rather than pics, are more desirable in addition to basic ground in Plant Taxonomy.<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks a lot \u2026 for your efforts, I will try to make use of this data for my present posts.. and you are absolutely right in saying that only photographs cannot be decisive, identification can be achieved in field through actual examination of the specimens.. but some basic things should be there to keep in mind\u2026 thanks again for providing relevant points to look for while trying to distinguish different specimens of\u00a0Anaphalis<\/i>..<\/p>\n

These pics were taken from Chakrata area<\/span>.. id please..<\/p>\n

\n
\n
All the species of Anaphalis<\/em> are beautiful. I would have loved to see some leaves here needed to go for ID.<\/div>\n

Anaphalis<\/i> have globular flower heads as every one knows with shiny papery involucral bracts which are usually white in our species. So what we see here white are bracts. There are only yellow disc florets <\/u>within it. So actually the genus will go to June episode.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The involucral bracts are acute, spreading(1a. jpg) so just a guess that it could be Anaphalis triplinervis.<\/i><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\n

Thanks a lot … for valuable inputs… perhaps, to keep away confusions … had included this in May List… but I hope this will keep floating in June also..<\/p>\n

Whereas one specimen from Manali (Manali 2) is true representation of the species, with distinctly decurrent leaf bases, the other Manali specimen (Manali 1) and Baratkhai specimens perhaps belong to some other species.
