Yes, *Desideria* is a sound suggestion as to genus (the family is Brassicaceae - formerly Cruciferae). *Sometimes it is essential to have fruits to confirm identification especially in less well-known* *genera or those which are more difficult.* I knew the genus before as *Ermania*. There are 4 species in the genus recorded from Ladakh, some of which no doubt occur in 'Central' Tibet where this was found but there could easily be species not known in Ladakh. *So if it is a Desideria:* We can rule out *Desideria* (Ermania) *himalayensis* as the foliage is completely different - fleshy oval, toothed leaves & small lilac flowers. Also, *D.pumila*. *Desideria linearis* is, according to Stewart, distinguished by small flowers, second (meaning one side of an axis) racemes and linear silicules. It is recorded from Tibet. Desideria stewartii is found from 3900-4950m, so this is promising altitude-wise - there is an image of this in the Kew herbarium but cannot access it at the right size to assess it. That is the best I can do at this point - and as mentioned, there may be other species to consider.
