Thanks Ushaprabha ji another nice photograph of this important plant. Pankaj ji, by they way have you ever seen or photographed the Yogi Padsha, Saussurea sacre, also supposed to be growing at similar altitudes. A legend (I had read about it perhaps in Coventry or Blatter) says that a person who collects more than seven plants of this plant dies. The legend may have relation to the rarity of this species.
