Asiat. Rar. 3: 111. 1832. syn: *Dicliptera roxburghiana* Nees var. *bupleuroides* (Nees) C. B. Clarke. There seems to be a lot of variation combined with confusion in some books and databases. While on trip to Kashmir last year I did find two distinct populations, that after seeing the two plants shown by Alok ji appear two distinct species. The species is differentiated according to Flora of China by leaf ovate, apex acuminate; cymes subsessile or on 3-5 mm long peduncle, many flowered; bracts lanceolate, 2-3 mm; outer bracteoles green, oblong-lanceolate, 5-7 × ca. 2 mm, abaxially pubescent, base cuneate, apex mucronate; inner bracteoles green with yellowish margin, lanceolate, ca. 4 × 1.5 mm; calyx ca. 3 mm; corolla ca. 5 mm, outside pubescent; lip in lower position orbicular, ca. 1.5 × 1.5 mm; lip in upper position oblong, ca. 2 × 1 mm, Staminal filaments ca. 2 mm; style ca. 3 mm. Capsule ca. 3 mm, seeds1 mm * <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ak9u6kelPUI/T4UOLmWrQUI/AAAAAAAABDA/I2T2OaPfjxk/s1600/Dicliptera-bupleuroides-near+Nandini-J+%26+K-2.jpg>* * Dicliptera-bupleuroides-near Nandini-J & K-2* * <https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-IfTDHDn3hRM/T4UOf8av7MI/AAAAAAAABDM/2P8jSiVgVWQ/s1600/Dicliptera-bupleuroides-near+Nandini-J+%26+K-4.jpg>* * Dicliptera-bupleuroides-near Nandini-J & K-4* *Gurcharan Singh* *-- With regards,J.M.Garg 'Creating awareness of Indian Flora & Fauna' <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmgarg1>Winner of Wipro-NFS Sparrow Awards 2014 for efloraofindia <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/award-for-efloraofindia>.
