Field Notes

Description:

White flower. Heard someone saying that the fruits of this plant are edible. Not sure myself. Read it in a book about the flowers from Valley of flower that the seeds of this plant are used by the locals in frying vegetables and pulses.

Thanks Alice. Will find the perfect name. I have misplaced the book with all details of the flowers present at Valley of flowers. Hopefully I will find it tomorrow and name them all by Monday.

I've gone from Queen Anne's lace (head of your flower is too tight ) to possibly Elderberries which are edible but your names are likely different.
