I love that unique blue colour of the flowers. On searching through earlier mails, I noticed that it was observed in Sikkim (Narendra ji)Arunachalam (Geeta Rane) Chamba (Alok ji)and by Tabish ji also apart from Valley of flowers. A somewhat similar plant *Desmodium triflorum* from western ghats was also got mis IDed as this but later corrected as the flower colour and the leaf pattern is different. (Just sharing my analysis)
