Garg" <[email protected]> I* currently consider all Delphiniums from the high passes in Ladakh to be within * *Delphinium brunonianum - though they except considerable variation! So your images come within this.* I consider the image labelled as *D.cashmerianum* in 'Flowers of the Himalaya' photographed on Baralacha La comes within *D.brunonianum*. This book is of a high standard but inevitably a few mistakes crept in (which I shall share at a later stage). As for the image in that book labelled as *D.brunonianum* photographed in Dolpo, Nepal not only bears no resemblance to forms of what I understand to be *D.brunonianum* in Ladakh, but may be a different species or variant at least. Always wondering about species of any genus found the whole length of the Himalaya, whether, when studied further do not turn out to vary at variety, subspecies or even species level. Stewart commented within "An Annotated Catalogue of the Vascular Plants of Pakistan & Kashmir" about *D.brunonianum*: "very common and very variable in the morainal zone @ 3300-4800m. about *D.cashmerianum*: "common and variable at high levels. Sometimes approaches *D.brunonianum*, possibly because of hybridisation. 2700-4800m I have an understanding of definite *D.cashmerianum* close to villages (irrigated areas) at lower levels in Ladakh. I do not consider I have seen it on the high passes but what about in between? Similarly, I have not seen what I understand to be *D.brunonianum* at lower levels. I consider this needs further investigation. Best Wishes, Chris Chadwell 81 Parlaunt Road SLOUGH SL3 8BE UK http://www.shpa.org.uk/ ------------------------------ *From:* J.M.
