This Rhodiola (I am assuming) too was growing next to the other possibly R. wallichiana in my other post (here you will see them together in some photos). I am not sure which one this is, The leaves look somewhat like those of R. heterodonta but only so. I am not sure which species this is. Please help. Rhodiola sp.

Superb images. I hope you have checked comparative images at genus page in efi site. Thank you ... I did check our site before filing and couldn't come to a conclusion. Thanks, ... I also checked up. It is new to efi although appears close to https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/cl/crassulaceae/sedum/sedum-oreades Thank you ... I think there is some mistake because my sample is very different from S. oreades, which has smaller and more needle-like leaves and single flowers at the end of stalks (like in the link). I filed that plant a while ago too from the same trek (Crassulaceae for ID ABJUL2017/13). My plant is closer to R. heterodonta for its broad oval leaves, but I am not sure if that is what it is. What are the species found in Himachal ? This may help in nailing the id. I do not have a list of the local or HP flora which I can rely on. I will write to ... and see if they can help with this. I am off tomorrow to check on some plants at Ilaqa and hopefully will come back with better understanding of those. I will write once I am back. May I request you to pl. provide the list of Rhodiola species found in Himachal ? I'll provided this list either today night or tomorrow. Do you have close ups of flowers with you ? Thank you ... I see that ... has kindly forwarded you the close ups. Thank you ... I hope these close ups, which are not as good as I would have liked but had no choice in the foul weather during the trek, are helpful in getting closer to an ID. Fwd: Crassulaceae in H.P. : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1) - 1 MB You had asked for the list of Rhodiola sp. in H.P. I am attaching complete list of plants recorded from H.P. and published in Flora of Himachal Pradesh by Botanical Survey of India. As Rhodiola genus was part of Sedum earlier, the various species are listed under Sedum. I'll try to reorganise the species later on. You may try with these species for the id of your posted plant although no keys are provided. |
