I repeat my comments about how difficult Rhodiola is identification-wise and
what a muddle exists.
I am still working on Rhodiolas of Ladakh and am not certain about some species.
These images from Paddar Valley do not match what I am currently thinking comes
within Rhodiola tibetica. Stewart knewthis plant as Sedum tibeticum but he had
no records for Kashmir but as Koelz collected what is understood to bethis in
Zanskar, then Paddar valley @ 4600m would be bordering Zanskar - so not a
complete surprise if the species grew atthe far end of the valley.
Records for R.tibetica range from 3600-5700m in Chitral, Swat, Astor, Baltistan
& Ladakh incl. North of Khardung La.
I have my doubts about the images on the FOI site name as this species, just as
the current image for Sedum oreadesis a misidentification for what is a
Rhodiola.
The specimen photographed for the FOI were in Arunachal Pradesh, which is a
surprising location for R.tibetica, which hasnot been recorded from Nepal,
Sikkim or Bhutan.
