Thanks Dr Goraya for information about Hippophae salicifolia, which I have also
seen in Nepalbut not in Kashmir Valley or Ladakh (has not been recorded there).
I was NOT at my best after the first couple of days in the Baspa as was taken
ill with serious gastro-intestinalproblems (something I have had more than my
fair share of during travels in India incl. full-blown food-poisoning).
We also had problems with local porters not wishing to go far per day - in fact
a local woman commented aboutthis. So did not manage to get as far up the
side-valleys as had planned with treks of several days on a numberof occasions
in mind.

{margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}#yiv5148795383 Dear Mr. Chadwell,
Yes you are right. All along Baspa river from Sangla to near Chhitkul, there is
a good occurrence ofHippophae 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.

eFI I would be interested in viewing these.
I recollect seeing a different Hippophae further down the Baspa Valley at
Sangla - whatI took to be H.salicifolia during a short visit in the 1990s.

Dears,
I have seen thickets of this species along river Baspa near Chhitkul in
Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh, and should be having photographs of this species
that I would need to dig out from my archives. May take time.

I attach an image taken by Peter Curzon during the British & Royal Nepalese
ArmyExpedition to Mt. Kirat Chuli in Eastern Nepal in 1985. Originally taken
as a slide thenscanned 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.rhamnoidessubsp. turkestanica.
I do not know where in H.P. this species has been recorded from? Perhaps
members have seenthis in H.P. or Uttarakhand?
