This is not Astragalus hendersonii See: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22Astragalus+hendersonii%22&tbm=isch&gws_rd=ssl#gws_rd=ssl&imgrc=Q11d_UBaTgoR8M%3A Looks remarkably like Oxytropis microphylla to me.

Stewart lists A.hendersonii from N.Pakistan but gives no records for Ladakh. Astragalus like Oxytropis is a large and difficult genus. Dickore & Klimes list 27 species for Ladakh and this plant may not be found in Ladakh. Perhaps others can suggest what it is? I shall look into it further in due course On Saturday, October 8, 2016 at 11:48:02 AM UTC+1, raj wrote: Dear Members, Astragalus hendersonii for validation.
