Flower/Fruit: Fl. Per.: July-August.
Type: Holotype: N.W. Himalaya, 6-9000 ft., (probably Ramnagar, Jummu, fide R.R. Stewart, in nota), J.D. Hooker & Thomson 4 (K!).
Distribution: Distribution: Kashmir to Simla and Missouri, Nepal, Bhutan, Yunnan, N. Burma and Pakistan.
Comment/Acknowledgements: As in the previous species there is some controversy regarding flower colour. J.D. Hooker (1882) states the colour to be pink, whereas Knuth (1905) as yellow. This needs to be verified.
