Thanks. As most of your posts are from Nepal, I wondered if it was a part of
thatcountry I was unfamiliar with.
To begin with, your images do appear to be of a Tamarix, rather than Myricaria
both in Tamaricaceae.
Tamarix - the nomenclature (and taxonomy) of this genus is complicated. Like
so manyothers.
I recollect seeing what I assumed was a Tamarix during my first expedition to
Ladakh but wedid not collect a pressed specimen to check the identity.
I prepared a check-list for Ladakh in the 1980s listing Tamarix troupii Hole
(syn. T.gallica) asthey only species present.
Stewart listed 15 species from Pakistan & Ladakh with T.indica Willd. (syn.
T.gallica L. var. indica)as a Dubia.
Dickore & Klimes in the most up-to-date check-list for Ladakh list Tamarix
ramosissima Ledeb. -Stewart only knew this from Baluchistan.
As for Tamarix aphylla (l.) Karst. - Stewart records this as the largest and
commonest species inPakistan, thriving in saline soils, frequently planted as a
roadside tree. But NOT from Ladakh.
As Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. is an Accepted Name in the latest 'The Plant
List', my current votewould be to go with Dickore.
IF a specialist in the genus can explain otherwise, then fine.
There is an entry in eFI currently under this name, see:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/5efgDP3BVGgThere was
uncertainty at the time. Looks more like a Myricaria than a Tamarix to me;
will take another look some time -adding to my ever-increasing list of
genera/postings to check further.
Should be a choice between M.elegans and M.germanica.
