This is definitely not *A.pubiflora* nor *A.nivalis*. That leaves a choice between *A.moorcroftiana* and *A.fragrans*, as these are the only 4 species recorded from the region. It is a rather weedy specimen. I think it does fit within what I understand to be *A.moorcroftiana* and not *A.fragrans*, so support Dr Erst's identification but am not fully happy with present understanding of the genus in the Himalaya.
