Rhodiola tibetica (Hook. f. & Thomson) S.H. Fu, Acta Phytotax. Sin., Addit. 1: 121 121 1965. (Syn: Sedum quadrifidum var. tibeticum (Hook. f. & Thomson) Fröd.; Sedum stracheyi Hook. f. & Thomson; Sedum tibeticum Hook. f. & Thomson; Sedum tibeticum var. stracheyi (Hook. f. & Thomson) C.B. Clarke); Common name: Tibetan Rhodiola, Red Sedum
Kindly identify this Rhadiola species Location: Paddar Valley J&K Altitude: 4600 meters Date: 7th August 2011 Looks like Rhodiola tibetica. Can't be sure though. Thanks, ..., I think seems to match with images of at FOI: I repeat my comments about how difficult Rhodiola is identification-wise and what a muddle exists. I am still working on Rhodiolas of Ladakh and am not certain about some species. These images from Paddar Valley do not match what I am currently thinking comes within Rhodiola tibetica. Stewart knew this plant as Sedum tibeticum but he had no records for Kashmir but as Koelz collected what is understood to be this in Zanskar, then Paddar valley @ 4600m would be bordering Zanskar - so not a complete surprise if the species grew at the far end of the valley. Records for R.tibetica range from 3600-5700m in Chitral, Swat, Astor, Baltistan & Ladakh incl. North of Khardung La. I have my doubts about the images on the FOI site name as this species, just as the current image for Sedum oreades is a misidentification for what is a Rhodiola. The specimen photographed for the FOI were in Arunachal Pradesh, which is a surprising location for R.tibetica, which has not been recorded from Nepal, Sikkim or Bhutan.
Altitude: Around 15-16000 Date: 24 August 2014 Habit : Wild Rhodiola heterodonta (Hook. fil. & Thoms.) A. Boriss. ?? I am not sure if I had posted it earlier as I could not find in the list of posts ! This species of Rhodiola is again common in similar heights of way to Khardungla. As ... said R. heterodonta I am also sure that this should be true. The broadly lance like-triangular leaves with irregularly toothed margin is the identifying feature of the species. The botanical name heterodonta means having different kinds of teeth which is visible in this species. Yes, this could be Rhodiola heterodonta, but I am not sure. Thanks, ... Images of Rhodiola heterodonta (Hook. f. & Thomson) Boriss. look different as per images herein and as per the following: I find these closer to images of Rhodiola tibetica (Hook. f. & Thomson) S.H. Fu as per images herein and as per the following: Pl. confirm. I agree with ..., but need further confirmation!
Location : Way to Khardung La, India Altitude: Around 15-16000 Date: 24 August 2014 Habit : Wild Rhodiola sp. ?? Which one ?? I am not sure if I had posted it earlier as I could not find in the list of posts ! I think you can id this now based on replies from ... in other threads. https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/cl/crassulaceae/rhodiola/rhodiola-tibetica ??? Please check Rhodiola tibetica Guessed so but need final validation ! Thanks, ..., for id. I also think close to images at Rhodiola tibetica References: |
