Flower found in East Sikkim, at altitudes of 3500-4000m, flowering in June<\/span>
\nTo me it looks like some kind of Oxygraphis<\/i> or Halerpestes<\/i> or Ficaria<\/i> from Buttercup family
\nPlease identify<\/p>\n
\nI think Oxytropis endlicheri<\/i> (Walp.) Bennet and Chandra only (syn: O. polypetala<\/i> (D. Don) Hook.f. & T
\nHalerpestes<\/i> won’t have more than 10 petals, according to both eFlora of China and eFlora of Pakistan, as well as latest Flora of India.
\nFicaria<\/i>\u00a0based mainly on Ranunculus ficaria<\/i>, does not grow in India, and does not have more than 10 petals.
\nAlso according to Flora of India sepals fall early in <\/span>Halerpestes<\/i>, whereas they are persistent and enlarged after flowering. They seem so in first photograph.<\/span><\/p>\n
