Hydrangea anomala ABMAY01/04 : 3 posts by 3 authors. 6 images.
I have been seeing this climber on trees on a couple of mountain trails. The flower cluster is aromatic and the sterile flowers light green. It looks like a wild hydrangea to me, Hydrangea anomala perhaps. Please advise.
Hydrangea anomala?

Last year we could not confirm the ID of this Hydrangea climber. The aromatic flowers are out again and I am posting fresh photos. Please advise.

Looks like Hydrangea, there are several climbing species of Hydrangea found in Himalayas
Perhaps Hydrangea anomala D. Don (syn: H. altissima Wall.

I would very much appreciate an identification
we saw this around the village of Makku, Uttarakhand at an altitude of about 6,500 feet first week of may 2018

Hydrangea species most likely Hydrangea aspera.

Many thanks for sending me in the right direction. H. aspera has purplish or white infertile flowers, this particular one has yellowish so it probably is H. Heteromalla.

is this a shrub or a climber??? --if a shrub, did you think of  hydrangea heteromalla

I think it appears closer to illustration & images of Hydrangea anomala as per images and details herein and as per at
rather than Hydrangea aspera 
Also see keys at
Hydrangea heteromalla D. Don (no observation so far in efi site) appears close to Hydrangea anomala as per illustrations at
But going by hairiness of the plant and altitude, I am more inclined towards Hydrangea anomala as per

I guess it may be genus Hydrangea, though inflorescence appears different.. open flower may solve the doubts. 

Not sure > Could not match according to listing at ACFPN.

To me looks different from images at Hydrangea

It is looking like Hydrangea anomala. (I have confusion & I am not sure)

Thank you ..., I shall try to check if I can go there again.  It could be since it is recorded in Phulchoki according to the book.
Thanks a lot, … You appears to be right as per images and details at Hydrangea anomala D. Don as per comparative images at Hydrangea

Please Check Dicroa of Hydrangeaceae

Thanks, … I think it may be Hydrangea anomala D. Don 

Yes … it is not Dichroa.

Okay. Thanks for letting me know.

A bit late to re-visit the location and unable to find flowering, however I could get some fruiting images  Hope, this will validate the ID.

A member of Araliaceae, not sure which genus.

It is already identified as Hydrangea anomala. Please check earlier mail.


Thank you ...!
