Distribution and habitat: —NW India, N Pakistan, rock crevices in alpine and subalpine zone (Engler & Imrscher 1919, Dvorský et al. 2018).

Notes: —In protologue, authors cited three herbarium specimens. One collected by V. Schlaginweit (Schlaginweit 4763) in Tibet “an der heissen Quellen bei Mulbe” and two collections from NW Himalaya: “Kashmir, Nittar-Tal im Distrikt Gilgit an Felsen bei 3000–3500 m (Duthie 12428) “ and “Kangi Lá an Felsen bei 4200 m (Meebold 326)” collected by J. F. Duthie and A. Meebold, respectively ( Engler & Irmscher 1913). Typification was provided by S. Ghazanfar in Flora of Pakistan ( Ghazanfar 1977) where Meebold 326 was selected as lectotype (as Kanji La, Ladakh, 14000´, Meebold 326 (WU)). We agree with this typification for following reasons: 1. Specimens cited by Engler & Irmscher (1913) were designated to be placed in Berlin (B; Engler & Irmscher 1919) but they are not accessible. 2. The specimen placed in Wien (WU) is a duplicate/part of collection of A. Meebold n. 326 “bei Kangi lá an Felsen bei 4200 m ”. 3. This specimen (although quite poor) was personally seen by us and there is no doubt, that this specimen is S. meeboldii in common sense known from Ladakh and without any hybrid influence.
