Re: Spiraea prunifolia Sieb. & Zucc. var. prunifolia from Kashmir–A case of when you forget and then recollect:<\/span><\/a> no images.
\nI had photographed this plant in May this year, knowing that I had seen this plant earlier but could not place it. Aarti ji also uploaded this plant but I could not help her. Today while scanning and making pdf file of my old publications, I stumbled upon this plant from this entry:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
“A deciduous shrub with slender branches, 2-5 cm long denticulate leaves, flowers white, double in sessile umbels”<\/div>\n
and I knew, I had my plant. The plant was originally recognised as Spiraea prunifolia<\/i> var. plena<\/i> Schneid., but is now considered merely as type variety. I had compiled this paper in 1975 published only in 1983, as I had left for Delhi in 1975.<\/div>\n

For ID 21052012CS1:<\/a>
\nLocation: Chasme shahe, Srinagar<\/span>
\nObserved behind the garden. Many bushes were in full bloom. Looking like temple prasad balls<\/p>\n


\n

I have yet to identify this one, was already drying when I clicked it.<\/p>\n


\n
\n
Could it be any Spiraea<\/i> sp.? As in –\u00a0http:\/\/www.florum.fr\/img\/S\/4\/5\/2494-Spiraea-hypericifolia.jpg<\/span><\/a> or in http:\/\/davesgarden.com\/guides\/pf\/go\/1435\/#b<\/span><\/a> ?<\/div>\n
\n
\n

I think none of these … This one has double flowers almost globose in shape.<\/p>\n


\n
\n
\n

I am attaching one more image of the same<\/p>\n

I hope Spiraea prunifolia<\/em><\/p>\n

These flowers were seen in Shalimar Bagh<\/span> in Srinagar, J&K in April 2023.<\/span><\/div>\n
I could not find any match in the eFI database.<\/div>\n
Requested to please ID.<\/p>\n

Does not appear to be a Rose.<\/p>\n

Maybe some ornamental Prunus.<\/em><\/div>\n
