Dear Mr. Chadwell,
Yes you are right. All along Baspa river from Sangla to near Chhitkul, there is a good occurrence of Hippophae salicifolia, a fairly large shrub, even along the road. The fruits are very sour and the local people make paste/ syrup of this and use in making curries. Hipphophae tibetana, on the other hand, is a low rigid shrub, that I have seen only beyond Chhitkul (alt. = 3350 m asl) along the moist/ marshy banks of river Baspa.

I recollect seeing a different Hippophae further down the Baspa Valley at Sangla - what I took to be H.salicifolia during a short visit in the 1990s.

May take time. Regards, Dr. G S Goraya, IFS Deputy Director General (Research), Indian Council of Forestry Research & Education, New Forest P.O., Dehradun - 248006. (Uttarakhand, India) Tel.

Garg" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Cc: I attach an image taken by Peter Curzon during the British & Royal Nepalese Army Expedition to Mt. Kirat Chuli in Eastern Nepal in 1985. Originally taken as a slide then scanned in. Flowers of Himalaya says riversides & stony moraines @ 3300-4500m from H.P. to SE Tibet. In Nepal in the drier inner valleys only. Flora of Bhutan records this from dry gravelly or rocky places, especially on riverbeds @ 3650-4700m. Strangely, in 'Flora of Lahaul-Spiti' this species is given as a synonym of what was H.rhamnoides subsp. turkestanica. I do not know where in H.P. this species has been recorded from? Perhaps members have seen this in H.P. or Uttarakhand?
