Sibbaldia tetrandra Bunge, Verz. Altai Pfl. 17 17 1835. (Syn: Dryadanthe bungeana Ledeb.; Dryadanthe tetrandra (Bunge) Juz.; Potentilla tetrandra (Bunge) Hook. f.);
Altitude 4000 m or above. Please identify. I species of Sibbaldia. Let us see further. Thanks for the lead. Sibbaldia tetrandra probably. Is found in Ladakh. http://flower.onego.ru/other/other/ena_7923.jpg http://www.jansalpines.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=12268 Having identified Sibbaldia without any problem, I was looking for species with much more hairy leaves (than S. procumbens) and four petals. Good you found it before me. Yes it matches well. I wish you had photograph of clump. It would have been more distinctive. Here is a picture of the clump.
Fwd: Botanizing in Ladakh Part I - Exploring across Durung Drung glacier, Zanskar : 3 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (14) When camped on Pensi La decided to explore across glacier to see what plants grew across the other side. Not that many species but a fascinating selection - mostly mat or mound-forming to cope with extreme conditions incl. high winds. A long and tiring day. This glacier is apparently, at some 23km, the longest in Ladakh other than Siachen (in the Karakoram) at an average height of about 4800m. Only went as far as Rangum Gompa in the Suru Valley on my first visit to the region on the University of Southampton Ladakh Expedition in 1980, so pleasing to cross the Pensi La into Zanskar proper some years later. 1.
