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.
