Rosceae week: Potentilla polyphylla_RKC05_04102011 : 8 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (2) Potentilla polyphylla for you. Loc.: On way to Churdhar, Himachal Pradesh (ca 1500m) Date: 10th August, 2010. I have been looking at images of a Potentilla posted from Nepal which I think may prove to be P.lineata (syn. P.fulgens). Checking differences between this and P.polyphylla, I note that P.polyphylla is given a distribution of Kumaon to Bhutan not H.P. Also, in Nepal its altitudinal range is 2700-4600m, so to find it 1100m lower than previously recorded and in HP, would be a surprise. I therefore must cast doubt on the identification here. Will look again another time. Further to my recent post, I have just checked with 'Flora Simlensis' (which includes Churdhar). This has 10 species of Potentilla but not P.polyphylla. |
