Aster species from Paddar valley: Kindly confirm the Identification Bot name: Aster falconeri Family: Compositae Location: Paddar valley Kishtwar J&K. Date: 2nd August 2011 Altitude: 3500 meters asl Its quite challenging to ID the plant as its in bud condition. I have serious doubts about this being Aster falconeri. I am about to post an image of what I THINK is this species. Flowers of the Himalaya describes A.falconeri has having SOLITARY flower-heads (the specimen photographed in Paddar Valley does not). The foliage does not seem to fit either. |
