Another Anaphalis? ABAUG2016/67 : 5 posts by 2 authors.
Found this at 1900m growing alone about 30cm tall. The bracts are covered in wool and the hairy leaves and habit point again to A. contorta. But if this is A. contorta than my other post may have something different. Please advise
Thanks, ...
Following three appears quite close from comparative images at Anaphalis:
Anaphalis busua (Buch.-Ham.) DC.
May be experts can help.
