Thank you Chris ! I guess it is not the native to Nepal rather introduced and pictured in a garden !
Thank you Saroj Kasaju On 23 Jan 2017 04:01, "C CHADWELL" <[email protected]> wrote: Dear Saroj I am in agreement that the plant photographed comes close to what Stewart knew in Pakistan as 'The Garden Wallflower' (Cheiranthus cheiri) - where it was much cultivated in flower gardens. However, it was not a FIRM identification. Enumeration of the Flowering Plants of Nepal does not mention it but this concentrated upon WILD plants. No mention in Flora of Bhutan nor the Dickore & Klimes Ladakh check-list (2005) - they included many cultivated species with the arid conditions there similar to Jomsom. The Plant List also has this currently under Erysimum cheiri but that data-base considers the name "unresolved". By the way Cheiranthus cheiri 'Wallflower' is a native of cliffs & rocks in Greece, Crete, W.Turkey & W.Syria. Flowers in the wild are deep yellow. It is naturalised on walls in most of the rest of Europe. Flower colour in cultivated wallflowers varies from red to pinkish or brown, yellow and cream. There are quite a number of cultivated wallflowers. Many of the cultivars including hybrids of a number of other species. *I therefore think it best to say perhaps a garden wallflower.* Best Wishes, Chris Chadwell 81 Parlaunt Road SLOUGH SL3 8BE UK www.shpa.org.uk ------------------------------ *From:* Saroj Kasaju <[email protected]> *To:* Nidhan Singh <[email protected]> *Cc:* C CHADWELL <[email protected]>; J.M.
