Unhappy Another Himalayan Wildflower - July11

Dear friends,
Another wild flower from the Himalayan backwaters...
Altitude 3000 mts
Season July-August
Height 15 inches
Grassy slopes, open meadows

Looked like the Knautia arvensis to me but then.... the leaves are very different....
Any wild guesses....??







regards
Alok

I would think certainly a Knautia sp but, as you say, not K. arvensis. The foliage looks right (along with the name) for K. longifolia (e.g. [Dipsacaceae] Knautia longifolia (Waldst. et Kit.)Koch 09.08.2004 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! ) although the flowers are not quite correct?
There are several other species of Knautia [Knautia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ] so may be worth doing an image search?

Thumbs up Knautia

Thanks Paul,
I have not come across of any reports of Knautia sp. from the Himalayas... except for one case of K. arvensis from Pakistan... but since this is not that... I think it could well be K. longifiolia (from the other pics of the same flower I have) and of course there could be regional variations too....
