This seems to match *Oxytropis microphylla* - as Professor Singh has stated
previously, distinguished by small leaflets and glandular swellings on pods.

But one has to inspect Oxytropis carefully, as Stewart lists 10 species
from Ladakh,
whilst Klimes & Dickore have 14 in their more up-todate checklist incl. a
hybrid
between *O.microphylla* and *O.chiliophylla!*  It is a very large genus
indeed.

Sometimes not easy to distinguish between *Oxytropis* and *Astragalus*.

Always take care not to assume a plant automatically belongs to a
particular species.
Likewise, be aware that plants vary, often a considerable amount within
species - such
that it is all too easy to think one has come across a species 'New to
Science', when it
is in reality just a variant of an existing species.

That is why taking more than just one or two photos per plant helps a lot
to show this
variation and by including images of *several* good close-ups of floral
parts *and* foliage,
greatly helps those of us trying to identify the species.  Having those
extra images to
look at speeds up the process of eliminating possible species and increases
the chances of having
confidence in the identifications suggested.

Thanks to the wonders of digital photography, smaller & more quickly
re-chargeable batteries etc.
one can take lots of images of every plant.  Back in the days of slide
film, essential tripods, changing
to macro-lenses it was only feasible and economic to take one or two photos
per species seen.


Best Wishes,

Dear Members,

Sharing some pictures I guess is Oxytropis microphylla (Pall.) DC. shot at
Leh on 24 August 2014 at 12000 ft.

Thank you.
