I am sorry I did not see Dr Rawat's post about *Taxus wallichiana*. I will have a look at the sample I have again and report back.

Some earlier relevant feedback: It is interesting that this species is not known in Himachal Pradesh. The available literature indicate Kali valley in Kumaon Uttarakhand as the westernmost distribution of this species. Needs thorough checking for confirmation of identity. DSRawat Pantnagar The appearance also suggest Taxus baccata ssp. wallichiana. DSRawat Pantnagar Thank you Dr Rawat. Could I have misidentified a *Abies pindrow*? efi page on Abies pindrow <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/p/pinaceae/abies/abies-pindrow> & Taxus wallichiana <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/m---z/t/taxaceae/taxus/taxus-wallichiana> (syn. Taxus baccata ssp. wallichiana) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ashwini Bhatia <[email protected]> Date: 15 February 2015 at 20:37 Subject: [efloraofindia:215733] Back...Tsuga dumosa/ABFEB01 To: efloraofindia <[email protected]> I am back after about a month of travelling and will share photos of trees/plants I collected on my journey as I edit them. I am sure I missed a lot of exciting stuff on the forum and apologise for contributing nothing to the discussions. I hope I can make up for my absence by posting regularly from now on. I walked in the mountains with family today and we took a trail which we do not usually take as it lies mostly in shadow. I found a couple of new plants/trees and I am sharing one with you here. To my untrained eyes it looks like Himalayan Hemlock of the pine family. I saw only a couple of young shrub like trees with no cones on them, making it difficult to be certain. But the needles' shape and arrangement suggests Hemlock. Please advise. Himalayan Hemlock (*Tsuga dumosa*)–Please confirm. 2000m, above Mcleodganj, Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh 15 Feb. 2015 Thanks.
