When I saw the suggested genus for this, I was thinking, "Oh no!", I shall have to be "banging on" about how difficult Rhodiolas are to name but was relieved when it turned out this was not *Rhodiola* nor any member of the Crassulaceae family but Polygonaceae.
My first impressions are *Aconogonum tortuosum* - which 'Flowers of the Himalaya' say is found on stony slopes in Tibetan borderlands @ 3300-5600m from Afghanistan to Bhutan and Tibet - so this all fits. Stewart knew this as *Polygonum tortuosum* - a variable 'shrub' of the inner ranges but happy to hear of other suggestions.
