Requesting to please validate ID of this tree flower growing in a rock crevice near Manali, HP in October 2014.
Is this Campanula pallida var. tibetica?

I agree with you about the identification of the plant
It may be Campanula cana
I had seen Campanula palida at Chakrata which was having blue -coloured corolla and pinkish stamens.This one looks almost the same species.
Thanks ... for the feedback...Hoping to get some further comments for validating the ID...

The foliage and other vegetative characters not clear! A few close- up photographs may help us along with the fruits. Without these I feel it would be difficult to identify the plant.
Pl. check with Campanula argyrothicha as per FoP illustration & GBIF
I feel it may be close.
I guess ID is correct Campanula argyrotricha Wall. ex A.DC. ! 

Thank you ... for the correct ID and ... for validating.

Please see an image of Campanula wattiana in the link of Flowers of India- Flowers of India
I think images of ... are more closer to C. wattiana than C. argyrotricha.

Can you tell me the elevation please !
Thanks, ... Yes, seems to match with specimens at GBIF.
May be around 6000 ft.
