Rosaceae Week - Potentilla Sp. (NSJ-03/10/11 -04): Potentilla Sp. Photo taken at Khardungla village (~ 16000 feet) in June 2011 botanical ID yet to be confirmed The closest I can think is Potentilla peduncularis Yes Sir looks like Potentilla peduncularis This does NOT match Potentilla peduncularis - a species not only not recorded from Ladakh but not found further West than Nepal! There are quite a lot of Potentillas in Ladakh, some of which I am not familiar with yet. I shall take another look at this when time permits. Do not currently have time to look closely into the 33 + species of Potentilla currently recorded for Ladakh. I only listed 14 species in my informal check-list for Ladakh in the 1980s! Requires not just days probably WEEKS of sustained effort to understand the genus better in Ladakh - let alone the Himalaya as a whole..... Potentilla pamirica Th.Wolf ?? Thanks, ..., for the id.
