Yes, is a Buckwheat. There are 3 species recorded from Ladakh by Dickore & Klimes including *Fagopyrum kashmirianum* - this was described by Munshi but is morphologically close to *F.esculentum* and generally treated as the same species. So this leaves a choice between *F.esculentum* and *F.tartaricum*, as has been suggested. *F.esculentum* is the common buckwheat cultivated along the Himalaya especially in the higher inner valleys above 1800m incl. Ladakh. *F.tartaricum* is even hardier than *F.esculentum* but thought to be of poorer quality. It may be grown up to 4050m in Ladakh incl. Nubra. 'Flowers of the Himalaya' state that F.tartaricum differs from *F.esculentum* "in having less conspicuous flower-clusters with smaller usually greenish flowers, nutlets with rough faces and toothed wavy angles *From the images, I am in agreement with Saroj that it is Fagopyrum tartaricum*. *There is a very good selection of images of F.esculentum on Wikipedia Commons, see: * *https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fagopyrum_esculentum <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fagopyrum_esculentum>* Best Wishes, Chris Chadwell 81 Parlaunt Road SLOUGH SL3 8BE UK http://www.shpa.org.uk/ ------------------------------ *From:* J.M.
