---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]> Date: 23 May 2012 16:39 Subject: [efloraofindia:117455] Rorippa palustris (L.) Besser and Rorippa islandica (Oeder) Borbas To: efloraofindia <[email protected]> I would be grateful if any member is able to find any publication/find differences between Rorippa palustris (L.) Besser and Rorippa islandica (Oeder) Borbas. The two have often been considered as synonyms, but now treated as distinct species. It would be interesting to decide our specimens belong to which of these. Latter is an European species but has been recorded in most Indian treatments, mainly because R. palustris was for some years was treated as its synonym. GRIN reports only R. palustris from India. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
