Brassicaceae<\/i> ?? for ID. Photo taken on Kailash Parikrama route. Height approx 15500 feet. Aug 24, 2016. <\/font>The quality of image is poor.<\/p>\n

This looks to be from Boraginaceae<\/i>..<\/p>\n

\n
… is correct, this is Boraginaceae<\/i> not Brassicaceae<\/i>.<\/div>\n
I do not have a check-list for this area but do for Ladakh, which has two species recorded of the genus to which this belong: Microula<\/i><\/u>.<\/div>\n
Stewart lists M.tibetica<\/i> from high passes in Ladakh (& Spiti),<\/font> describing it as having a rosette of elliptic leaves with flowers in the centre.<\/font><\/div>\n
This genus is not mentioned in ‘Flora of Lahaul-Spiti’ – I imagine the authors did not explore much on the high passes of Spiti nor check the<\/div>\n
literature and quite possibly no pressed specimens are found in the herbaria they consulted.<\/div>\n
There are excellent images named as Microula tibetica<\/i>: http:\/\/botany.cz\/en\/microula-tibetica\/<\/font><\/a>\u00a0 which seem to match the photos taken by<\/div>\n
Narendra.<\/div>\n
Dickore & Klimes also list M. sikkimensis<\/i> but this species has a completely different habit, so would not be confused (there is a line drawing<\/font><\/div>\n
in ‘Flowers of the Himalaya’ – interestingly, the give a distribution of W.Nepal to SW China, so the Ladakh record is surprising.<\/font><\/p>\n
