PhytoKeys 114: 11–25. https:// doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.114.29914 Abstract The existence of intermediate types is a major obstacle that can hinder the circumscription of species. Elu- cidating the mechanism responsible for intermediate types is essential for achieving a reasonable taxonom- ical treatment. In this study, we explored the evolutionary history and taxonomic treatment of the Soroseris hookeriana (C.B.Clarke) Stebbins complex, which comprises six named taxa that may be taxonomically distinct and are all native to the Qingha-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). We made an investigation across the distribution range of Soroseris Stebbins and sampled 27 populations, mostly from the complex. Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and two chloroplast loci were sequenced and analysed using the neighbour- joining and Bayesian inference methods.

  • Flowering Plants of Sikkim- an Analysis
    FLOWERING PLANTS OF SIKKIM- AN ANALYSIS Paramjit Singh and M. Sanjappa ABSTRACT ikkim is one of the biodiversity rich states of our country. The present paper analyses the flowering plant diversity of the state with some indicative figures of dominant genera like Bulbophyllum, Calanthe, Coelogyne, SCymbidium, Dendrobium, Gentiana, Juncus, Pedicularis, Primula, Rhododendron and Swertia recorded from the region. Nearly 165 species have been named after the state, as they were first collected from the state or plants were known to occur in Sikkim. Some of the representative endemic species of the state have also been listed. One hundred ninety seven families, 1371 genera have been appended with indicative number of species of each genus known to occur in Sikkim. In all more than 4450 species of flowering plants recorded so far. KEYWORDS: Diversity, Dominant genera, Endemics, Families, Flowering Plants, Sikkim Waldheimia glabra in Lhonak, North Sikkim 65 Middle storey of Rhododendron in Conifer forests INTRODUCTION ikkim, the second smallest state of India having an area of around 7096 sq. km is known as the paradise of naturalists. It is a thumb shaped hilly region with Nepal in the west, Bhutan in the east and Tibet in the north and Snorth-east. In the south it is bordered by Darjeeling district of West Bengal. The mountain chains which run southward from the main Himalayan ranges form the natural border of Sikkim; the Chola Range dividing it from Tibet in the north east and Bhutan in the south-east; the Singalila range likewise separating it from Nepal in the west. Mountain passes along these ranges over the years have sustained a two way traffic of traders, pilgrims, and adventurers from Tibet and Central Asia.

  • Eastern Asian Endemic Seed Plant Genera and Their Paleogeographic History Throughout the Northern Hemisphere 1Steven R

MANCHESTER* 2Zhi-Duan CHEN 2An-Ming LU 3Kazuhiko UEMURA 1(Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611-7800, USA) 2(State Key Laboratory of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100093, China) 3(National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo 169-0073, Japan) Abstract We review the fossil history of seed plant genera that are now endemic to eastern Asia. Although the majority of eastern Asian endemic genera have no known fossil record at all, 54 genera, or about 9%, are reliably known from the fossil record. Most of these are woody (with two exceptions), and most are today either broadly East Asian, or more specifically confined to Sino-Japanese subcategory rather than being endemic to the Sino- Himalayan area. Of the “eastern Asian endemic” genera so far known from the fossil record, the majority formerly occurred in Europe and/or North America, indicating that eastern Asia served as a late Tertiary or Quaternary refugium for taxa. Hence, many of these genera may have originated in other parts of the Northern Hemisphere and expanded their ranges across continents and former sea barriers when tectonic and climatic conditions al- lowed, leading to their arrival in eastern Asia. Although clear evidence for paleoendemism is provided by the gymnosperms
