Thanks for the information. Its my mistake, I have overlook, and plz accept my apologies for the same.
Secondly, whatever I comment, I comment on your comment and not on you as a person. So please dont take it on yourself. Your knowledge on Himalayan plants is too vast than mine for sure. At that time I had checked to see if there was name as tautonyms, and yes I found one. So I concluded. Leontopodium leontopodium H.Karst. Deut. Fl. (Karsten) 1074. (1883 ) Interestingly they have not called it invalid!! Now I checked for the other one which you gave and I overlooked. It is also there: Leontopodium leontopodinum Hand.-Mazz. Beih. Bot. Centralbl. xliv. II. 118 (1927). Hope you can understand why I understood it wrongly. Sorry once again.
