Leaves with fewer pairs of veins (three to six), white or pinkish flowers that do not turn purplish with age (unlike L. kumaonensis), and also differs in its ovoid seeds with a closely adherent fibrous covering. This species is reported to be common on the Dhaula Dhar river and in the Upper Ravi valley, in northern Himachal Pradesh (Chamba). It was discovered in this region by R. N. Parker, whose name is also commemorated in Jasminum parkeri, found by him at the same time and described by Dunn in the same issue of the Kew Bulletin.
