No, I do not consider the images taken near Guni camp are of D.denudatum.
We are at a considerable disadvantage not being able to properly see the stem
or basal leavesand with Delphiniums having a side view of the flowers to show
the spur better helps.
May I repeat a plea. Please take many more than 1-3 images of just the flowers
and post more. Foliage (bothupper & basal leaves, ideally showing lower
surface as well), habit, habitat are really important.Without such images one
is left trying to work out the picture of a jigsaw with lots of missing pieces.
It was the standard thing to just take one or two photos focussing on the
flowers only in the past (which is whatI did when using slides and the
requirement of changing lenses and a tripod) but modestly-priced
second-handcompact digital cameras are now readily available with wonderful
lenses for good close-ups and once into aroutine it does not take long to take
the requisite images. Such a shame if missing images make it impossible forus
to be sure which species a specimen belongs to or requires vastly more time and
effort on our part. Never easyto return to the site especially when trekking
high in the mountains.
Nevertheless, I currently think that the best bet would be D.kamaonense -
recorded from Kumaon to Central Nepal@ 3000-4300m. 'Flowers of the Himalaya'
say common on open slopes in Nepal, so quite possible from this location.
Perhaps Dr Rawat has come across D.kamaonense in Uttarakhand?
Any other suggestions?
