Is it some Rhododendron<\/em> species ?
\nPlace: Chooddhar (Sirmour) H.P.
\nAltitude: more than 2500m
\nJune 2014<\/span>
\nCollected by our Peon<\/div>\n
Habit: A small shrub<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Yes a Rhododendron<\/em> species.
\nLooks close to <\/span>R. anthopogon<\/em>. BUT 2500m altitude is too low for this species which occur in alpine zones above 3200m.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

…\u00a0observation is correct.
\nChurdhar (Dist. Sirmour, Himachal Pradesh) is a unique place where due to microclimatic conditions all four Rhododendron species of Himachal occur in a short distance of about 5 kms. The altitude, however, varies from about 2500 metres near Nohra (R. arboreum<\/em>) to about 3400 m at Churdhar (R. campanulatum, R. lepidotum & R. anthopogon<\/em>). \u00a0It is a treat to trek up to Churdhar during late May to early June to enjoy vast expanses of landscape covered with\u00a0flowered Rhododendrons of different species..<\/p>\n

\n
Yes, its Rhododendron<\/em>. It looks like R. camelliiflorum<\/em>.<\/div>\n
\n

The plant uploaded \u00a0appears to be Rhododendron triflorum<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you for your response. R. triflorum<\/em> do not occurs in H.P. We have only 5 species \u00a0(R. anthopogon, R. arboreum, R. campanulatum, R. hypenanthum <\/em>and R. lepidotum<\/em>) here.<\/p>\n

\n

I hope this is from Himachal Pradesh. It is Rhododendron anthopogon<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Thank you … Yes, it is from Himachal Pradesh.<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you all. We had planed to visit Choordhar this year along with …, but finally have to cancel. We will surely visit this year. It has unique FLORA.
