Notes on identity of some Indian species of Agapetes (Ericaceae) by D Banik – ‎2008- Nordic Journal of Botany Volume 26, Issue 1-2,  pages 4–9, April 2008
Abstract-  Agapetes variegata (Roxb.) D. Don ex G. Don var. bhareliana Airy Shaw is treated here as a separate species; A. bhareliana (Airy Shaw) D. Banik & M. Sanjappa. Resurrected A. macrantha (Hook.) Hook. f., earlier treated as a variety under A. variegata (Roxb.) D. Don ex G. Don as A. variegata var. macrantha (Hook. f.) Airy Shaw. Two new combinations A. macrantha var. grandiflora (Hook.f.) Q.Banik & M.Sanjappa and A. macrantha var. oblanceolata (Airy Shaw) D. Banik & M. Sanjappa are proposed here. A. macrantha var. macrantha and A. macrantha var. oblanceolata are reported for the first time from India.

Agapetes : 1 post by 1 author.

I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Agapetes

Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links.

Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details.

If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful.

Any comments/ corrections are welcome.
