Garg" <[email protected]> Yes, this is Astragalus. Like Oxytropis, this is a large and difficult genus identification-wise. The most up-to-date check-list for Ladakh (Dickore & Klimes) lists some 30 species. Stewart listed 26 species. Stewart did not list *A.candolleanus* from Ladakh (but there were records from bordering Baltistan) but Dickore & Klimes do. Dickore & Klimes do not list *A.zanskarensis* but perhaps one of the species they list is the up-to-date name for it? *Anyhow, I currently have two likely candidates for this plant. According to 'Flowers of the Himalaya', A.candolleanus* and *A.zanskarensis are very much alike but do not meaningfully** distinguish between the two - though they claim that the latter* *species is common in Ladakh, albeit only to 4300m (the photos were taken on Chang La at 4800m). This book says * *A.candolleanus is common in Chamba and some inner valleys of Nepal.* *Can the botanist with special knowledge of the genus help us or anyone else? Do the photos reveal sufficient detail?* Best Wishes, Chris Chadwell 81 Parlaunt Road SLOUGH SL3 8BE UK http://www.shpa.org.uk/ ------------------------------ *From:* J.M.
