The succulent plant is a Rhodiola but I am not familiar enough with the genus
in Ladakh tobe certain from foliage alone - especially a single, non-close-up
shot.
IF an Indian botanist had collected a pressed specimen of this - it has no
flowers or fruit andhad sent to a major herbarium in the UK such as Kew, the
specimen would have been discardedas "sterile".
It may be that in the future as my familiarity with the genus in Ladakh
improves, I will bein a position to name the plant but at present cannot
justify devoting any time to attempting toidentify it.
Whilst I make the point of requesting that images of foliage are included as
well as those ofa plant's flowers or fruit, leaves alone, especially not in
close-up are often of limited value - thoughit may be that this species is
abundant on the pass mentioned in Nubra.
It is possible that it may prove to be the species suggested but as I am not
certain about this species even whenin flower or fruit, would not wish to
speculate from leaves alone.
Will let you know when I am clearer.
If by chance this group has a Rhodiola expert who knows with confidence what
this is, please speak up - Iwould be delighted to send them images of Rhodiolas
from the region I am presently unsure about for theirthoughts.
Best Wishes,
