After some searching we found a road heading to the Bazoft valley, this
valley
runs parallel with the Kuhrang valley on the opposite
side of the Zarde
Kuh.
Before we entered the valley we came across a pass(Charee
pass), and here we
found on the 7th of May 2003, what we thought
was Dionysia lamingtonii.
The plants which grow on the rocks on this pass are now named
D.zetterlundii.
They all grow in vertical rocks at an altitude of approx. 2800m.
Next day, after we spent the night in the very scenic
Bazoft valley close to the
river, we found some more plants which did not look like the plants we found on
the pass. These plants were growing on vertical rocks close to the roadside at
a
much lower altitude: approx. 1740m.
They now can be considered as being Dionysia lamingtonii, unfortunately
they
were not in flower. (See also the guest photographers pages: D.lamingtonii)
