Thank you Surajit Ji for critically analyzing the ID based on the keys, illustration and pics (available on net). Since I was also in doubt the illustration was uploaded to compare with. I too feel that now it goes to L.serotina (now *Gagea serotina*) and the flower is abnormally developed with many perianths. I have seen L.serotina in Uttarakhand alpines many a times; it is more slender upto 10-15cm tall only and usually have brownish center which tempted me to suggest it as L.himalensis (an unresolved name in TPL2013). The plant in the link https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/tmw7t9aQz1w/EEv-XVDz_VUJ looks different and probably at that time I did not considered L.himalensis as a possibility. Yes it looks to have longer style. If we rely on this character it goes to L.himalensis. DSRawat Pantnagar <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/tmw7t9aQz1w/EEv-XVDz_VUJ>
