My final post 'today'. Cardamine hirsute is not recorded from Nepal either in the Enumeration or latest Annotated Checklist. Several Cardamine species are known from Nepal. In the UK we have both C.hirsuta and C.flexuosa (which is recorded from Nepal) which are similar. They are distinguished (in the UK) on the basis of C.hirsuta being an annual with 4 stamens, whereas C.flexuosa is a biennial (often perennating) with 6 stamens.
*From the first photo it appears the specimen has 6 stamens - making it likely to be C.flexuosa NOT C.hirsuta. Enumeration has C.arcuata subsp. flexuosa @ 1000-4000m in **Nepal & Temperate Eurasia. The more up-to-date Annotated Checklist for Nepal has C.flexuosa but no mention of C.* *arcuata....* *Would need to check the plant photographed by Saroj is not any of the other species of Cardamine recorded for Nepal.* On Saturday, January 14, 2017 at 4:33:31 PM UTC, Saroj Kumar Kasaju wrote: > Dear Members, > > Location: Godawari, Nepal > Altitude: 5000 ft. > Date: 10 January 2017 > > Thank you. > > Saroj Kasaju > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "efloraofindia" group.
