on December 1, 2016This is Oxygraphis endlicheri (syn. O.polypetala, Callianthemum endlicheri) - a tiny early-flowering alpine member of the buttercup family with many narrow yellow petals that can turn bronze; small, somewhat fleshy leaves (not visible in photo). Open slopes recently cleared of snow @ 2700-4500m. Chris Chadwell shpa.org.uk
