Petiolar Base

Tupistra Ker Gawler (1814: 1655) belonging to Asparagaceae subfamily Nolinoideae (APG 2009, Chase et al. 2009), includes about 26 species (Govaerts 2016). These taxa spread mainly in south and south-east of continental Asia, including Nepal, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, China, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia (Tanaka 2003a, 2003b,  2010a, 2010b, Averyanov et al. 2016). This genus is characterised by leaves with slender petiolar base, relatively large stigma broader than the style, stout columnar style almost as thick as the ovary and usually tuberculate, dirty green, globular berry-like fruit (Tanaka 2003a, 2010a). In India, Tupistra is represented so far by four species, namely Tupistra clarkei Hooker (1894: 325), T. nutans Wall. ex Lindley (1839: 1223), T. stoliczana Kurz (1875: 199) and T. tupistroides (Kunth 1848: 12) Dandy (1932: 329).

Abstract Impatiens acuminata Benth. ex Hook.f. & Thomson, endemic to Meghalaya in North-Eastern India, is lectotypified here. The species was collected/observed only five times in the 20th century. A detailed description and photographic illustrations based on live plant material is provided for its easy identification along with its comparison to closely related species I. parkinsonii C. E. C. Fisch. Geographical distribution, conservation status and horticultural potentials of the species are also discussed.

Physoschistura harkishorei, a new species of nemacheilid loach, is described from the Dibang and Lohit Rivers of Arunachal Pradesh, north-eastern India. The new species can be distinguished from all known congeners by the combination of the following characters: the second branched ray of pectoral fin with a distal filamentous extension; body colour pattern consisting of 9–10 vertically-elongated brownish spots or blotches along the flank, and 8–10 brownish saddles on back, the saddles not contiguous with the lateral blotches; lateral line complete; prominent, well-developed pelvic-fin lobe; a well-developed free posterior chamber of the air-bladder; and caudal fin with 7+8 branched rays. The new species occurs sympatrically with Physoschistura dikrongensis and P. elongata in the Brahmaputra basin.
