Once again sending the same reply as sent to Dr G.Singh Sir in separate thread. It was a case of mass misidentification. In entire West Himalaya specimens of *Paraquilegia* were identified as * P.microphylla* while the protologue and specimens from type locality (in Garhwal by Duthie) have different type of leaves, as studied by P.K.Pusalkar in BSI Dehradun. Consequently, this most common species, also mentioned in Flora of China, is named as *P.gangotriana* by P.K.Pusalkar and D.K.Singh, both from BSI. The species is also common in alpine zones of Uttarakhand blooming in late May or June with its characteristic habitat in rock crevices or over rock faces. A very attractive alpine plants
