Unidentified Sp. A small herb, Height around 10". Seen only at two locations at the same altitude.
Location Near MG Top (On the way to Panjtarni)
Altitude: Around 14000'
Date: Aug 12, 2013
Should be some Sedum species (Crassulaceae).
Sedum species in efi so far
Appears close to Rhodiola fastigiata (Hook. f. & Thomson) S.H. Fu as per images herein.
I agree that this is close to Rhodiola fastigiata but Rhodiola is a difficult genus identification-wise.  I am still uncertain about distinguishing between a number of species from Ladakh & the NW Himalaya.  So cannot confirm at this stage.
Stewart, who knew this plant as Sedum quadrifidum (with a var. fastigiatum) with records from Amarnath being very common at high altitudes in Kashmir @ 3600 to over 5000m.
