Photographed at Nyalam, Tibet. All these wild images show clear similarity to M. dhwojii, it need clarifying whether these two species can be clearly separated throughout their range. Margaret Thorne. |
This leaf shows purple pigment at the base of the spines on the leaf - this is a characteristic normally considered to define M. dhwojii which is oherwise very similar in stature, leaf shape and flower colour to M. gracilipes. Margaret Thorne. |
