Thanks a lot, Chadwell ji. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "C CHADWELL" <[email protected]> Date: 27 Jan 2017 12:21 a.m. Subject: Rhododendron nivale Hook.f. - new to eFI To: "J.M. Garg" <[email protected]> Cc:
I am posting an image taken by P.Curzon during the Joint British-Nepalese Army Expedition to Mt.Kirat Chuli in Eastern Nepal in 1985. Taken as slide then scanned in. Flowers of the Himalaya says it is found to be gregarious on high-altitude alpine slopes in drier areas only @ 4500-5500m from West Nepal to SE Tibet. This small spreading shrub is found growing higher into the dry zone than any other species. Flora of Bhutan records this from open mountain slopes and streamsides @ 4000-4600m in Sikkim, Chumbi & Bhutan. Apparently, the E.Himalayan plants belong to subspecies nivale.
