Tragopogon gracilis D.Don, in Mem. Wern. Soc. iii. (1820) 414. 414 1820.;
This herbaceous composite with beautiful inflorescence was shot from various places (Deoban Road-near spider's colony and Chakrata-Budher caves road) during our latest trip to the area, in May 2012. I could reach to identification with the help of Flora simlensis, and I think this should be Tragopogon gracile D. Don. I have attached the page 289 of Fl. Sim. having description of this plant as a reference... Please help to validate/rectify the identification.... P.S. The name of pics should be read as T. gracile and not T. gracilis, sorry for the ignorance I think yes. but correct epithet is gracilis, since -pogon is masculine gender, gracile is neuter, gracilis masculine or feminine.
Tragopogon genus is represented in India by following five species which are confined to West Himalaya only: 1. T.dubius Scop. 2. T.gracilis D.Don 3. T.kashmirianus G.Singh 4. T.orientalis L. 5. T.sinuatus Ave- Lall. Tragopogon gracilis D.Don is a common West Himalayan species found in J&K, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand in India. In Uttarakhand it occurs above 1500m altitude usually common in Pine forests. Here photographed near Almora Uttarakhand. Hope to see T.kashmirianus, a species discovered and described by G.Singh Sir from Kashmir in 1976. Many thanks ... for showing new and rare species. Also happy and very proud to know of T. kashmirianus, a species discovered and described by ... It is already there on our website and Flowers of India website
