The remark by Dr G.Singh Sir clarify the things here. Rosaceae of India, a standard work on Indian Rosaceae by Dikshit & Panigrahi (Ros. India 4: 67, f.9. 1998) have accepted this name as the correct name. Pusalkar & Singh (2012) in their Flora of Gangotri National Park have also used this name. In my view it should be taken as P. cuneata Wall. ex Lehm. as in FoNepal or if we follow Indian literature only as P.cuneifolia Bertol. Sibbaldia genus is different from it and have 4 or 5 or 10 stamens only (our species has numerous as visible in the pics) and flowers are smaller (less than 1cm across) in Indian species. Dr Singh understand nomenclatural complexities far more better than me and he has already explained it earlier as you have also mentioned. DSRawat Pantnagar
