Thanks, Chadwell ji. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: C CHADWELL <[email protected]> Date: 17 January 2017 at 16:20 Subject: Rosa sericea records fro Kashmir??? To: "J.M. Garg" <[email protected]>
Dr R Stewart was sceptical about the records of this species for Pakistan & Kashmir. Mason was supposed to have found it in the Shaksgam Valley on the Ladakh-Chinese border and it was reported from Shopayan, Kashmir by Rao. Its normal range is from Chamba eastward. Rosa sericea is included within the Rosaceae revision towards Flora of Pakistan (available on efloraofPakistan). The author states that there are a number records from NE Pakistan but not supported by any herbarium specimens. They thought its presence in Pakistan was "probable". I do not agree. I should think it probably is NOT found in Pakistan with the previous records being misidentifications without supporting herbarium voucher specimens. Rosa sericea is not included by Dickore & Klimes in the most up-to-date check-list for Ladakh.
