I think this\u00a0must surely be\u00a0A.bryophylla<\/i> – though had wondered when first viewing these images.\u00a0Stony slopes, rocks <\/span>in Tibetan borderlands to 6180m; <\/span>Woolaston, recorded this as the highest known species on Everest but there are other claims to ‘highest’ recorded flowering plant.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Thank you … I could identify this from the links you have provided in your earlier mails.<\/p>\n

Here with an image taken, as a slide\u00a0for me in Nimaling Valley, Ladakh @ some 4800-5100m, <\/span><\/span>I think.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
This appears to be Arenaria bryophylla<\/i> – forming a mound\/cushion.<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Stewart recorded it, usually @ 4700-5500m in Ladakh, especially on high passes<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span> He stated that it is the highest plant found on Mt. Everest @ 6180m (Woolaston during an Everest Reconnaisance\u00a0in the 1920s) but ‘The Guiness Book of Records’ claims the highest is Stellaria decumbens<\/i> @ 6135m.
\n<\/span>Flowers of the Himalaya says this is found amongst rocks & on stony slopes<\/span> @ 4300-6180m in the Tibetan borderlands from Kashmir to Sikkim and Tibet.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

Ladakh, August 2022 :: Arenaria bryophylla :: ARK2022-169<\/a>: 3 high res. images.
\nThis was en route Chang la from Pangong tso, Ladakh in August 2022.<\/span>
\nThe entire route was green. A pity, though, that as part of a larger group, one cannot stop at such spots to click pics ‘of such small flowers’ :)….hmm.
\nI think this is Arenaria bryophylla<\/em>. Requested to please validate<\/p>\n
