Gentiana (and now related genera) is a difficult genus, as I have said previously.
But the low elevation and spring flowering will eliminate some gentians from consideration. I do not consider that these images come close to Gentiana pseudoaquatica (or whatever is its current accepted name) of what I understand to be this species - should they not be much more of a miniature? I will try and look into the matter more. *At some stage, I would like to take a serious look at Gentianaceae of NW Himalaya but this is quite a challenge and have yet to find the time to focus properly on the family. SO many other genera belonging to other families also urgently need attention (indeed revision). So many families and genera are poorly known in the Himalaya.* *So cannot comment further at this stage.* On Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at 8:47:45 PM UTC+1, Suresh Rana wrote: > > Request for Identification > Kindly identify this Gentiana species > > Location: Paddar valley J&K. > Altitude: 2500 meters > Date: 15th May 2012 > Habit/Habitat: Wild herb > > -- > Warm regards > Suresh Rana > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "efloraofindia" group.
