While searching for the Saussurea auriculata I was happy to find two other Saussurea species and one of them was S. piptathera. Please advise if I am misidentifying it.

Saussurea for ID :: Ghangaria - Hemkund, Uttarakhand :: Aug 2018 :: ARKOCT-11 : 4 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (4)

I guess this is a Saussurea but not sure which (may be S. costus).

Saw this along the Ghangaria Hemkund trail, Uttarakhand in Aug 2018.

Requested to please ID.

Looks different from images at

https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/ar/asteraceae/carduoideae/saussurea/saussurea-costus

Pl. check https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/ar/asteraceae/carduoideae/saussurea

I think more close to images at Saussurea piptathera Edgew.

Thanks ... Hoping for experts to comment.
