Hello friends, Sharing an image of Eriocaulon parvicephalum (Eriocaulaceae), a newly described species by our research team at Agharkar Research Institute, Pune. The new species is closely allied with E. palghatense but differs in having acuminate spathe lobes, eglandular petals in the male flower, and two rectangular seed coat appendages per cell. Phylogenetic analyses using the ITS region of nuclear ribosomal DNA, and psbA–trnH and trnL–F intergenic spacer regions of chloroplast DNA supported the status of E. parvicephalum as a new species.
Loc.: Sindhudurg District, Maharashtra, India. Flowering: August You can find the full paper here: http://biotaxa.org/Phytotaxa/article/view/phytotaxa.303.3.3 Best regards, Ritesh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "efloraofindia" group.
