Request for Identification
Can the attached plat be Saussurea gnaphalodes
Location: Paddar valley J&K.
Date: 7th August 2011

Saussurea gnaphalodes has a wooly leaves which is kind of missing in this plant.
I think yes Saussurea gnaphalodes. It is a more mature specimen than other one which seemed to be younger. Red petioles and midrib are quite obvious.
Thanks a lot for ID of plants. It is now clear that all my uploaded plant today belong to species S. gnaphalodes. I was thinking these as different species.

Again this picture look like premature or flowering stage of Saussurea glacilis Herder.

As per records available with me I can confirm both these with the species Saussurea gnaphaloides species.

Thank you ... Saussurea gnaphalodes (Royle) Sch. Bip.
