Attachments (1)- 905 kb. Flower for id pl Location -Bhutan Date - March 2018 Appears Anaphyllis sp to me... Looks like Anaphalis sp. May be Anaphalis busua (Buch.-Ham.) DC. as per comparative images at Anaphalis This is another one growing at 2750m on Phulchowki in Nepal. Is this an Anaphalis? Yes! Maybe Anaphalis royleana DC. as per comparative images at Anaphalis Yes, I believe that is correct. Especially one set of images look very similar. I will put it on my Phulchowki blog and see if at a future date someone corrects it. So far it is not recorded at Phulchoki and no herbarium record ! I guess this is Anaphalis busua (Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don) DC. ! Not sure about A. busua as per the image and its morphology... Check for A. contorta or A. royleana Expert of Anaphalis validated as Anaphalis busua (Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don) DC. ! May I request you for high resolution image along with side view, for verification as per Anaphalis busua I have two images from a place near the first image. I think this might help. It might be Anaphais royleana from the photos I saw on your eflora site. 2 images- 6 & 7 mb each. Yes, I agree with Anaphalis busua due to decurrent base of the leaves, almost forming a wing. |
