Astragalus ... ??

Pl. Check comparative images at efi site.

Pl. check with comparative images at Astragalus

I think close to images at Astragalus rhizanthus Benth.

May be some other species as per keys at Flora of China

Astragalus rhizanthus subsp. candolleanus (Benth.) Podlech ?? as in earlier post SK657 19 JUL-2017:ID ??

This is Caragana, but I am not sure of the species.

I tried all species listed in Checklist of Nepal, as per

https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?taxon_key=2943179

https://www.gbif.org/en/species/2943300

https://www.gbif.org/en/species/2943212

https://www.gbif.org/en/species/2943232

https://www.gbif.org/en/species/2943271

Closest I could go is Caragana sukiensis C.K.Schneid. as per specimen, but I am not satisfied.

Also appears closer to Caragana spinifera Kom. as given in Flora of Bhutan as per GBIF Specimen

Flora of Bhutan gives the following keys:

1. Wing petals with a linear appendage at base almost as long as the claw Species 1 (C. jubata (Pallas) Poiret; C. chambica Prain) & 2 (C. sukiensis Schneider; C. nepalensis Kitamura)
+ Wing petals with rounded auricles at base ................... .. 3. C. spinifera.

Did not find listing/ distribution in Nepal

Caragana gerardiana Benth. ??

Yes, appears close as per GBIF- Specimen.

Is it the only species mentioned in the book on Flora of Mustang?

Thank you ... I have sent the excerpts from the book in other mail.

Hope both are correct!

Is this the same as SK656 18 JUL-2017:ID ??

Seems like Caragana sukiensis

Both ?

I also think Astragalus or similar genera. Pl. Check comparative images in efi site.

Pl. check comparative images at Astragalus

I find it closer to images at Astragalus rhizanthus subsp. candolleanus (Benth.) Podlech as per comparative images at Astragalus

May be some other species as per keys at Flora of China.

Yes, appears close as per GBIF- Specimen.
