Dicliptera bupleuroides Nees, Pl. Asiat. Rar. 3: 111 1832. (Syn: Dicliptera bupleuroides var. ciliata Malik & Ghafoor; Dicliptera bupleuroides var. nazimii Malik & Ghafoor; Dicliptera bupleuroides var. qaiseri Malik & Ghafoor; Dicliptera cardiocarpa Nees; Dicliptera hirtula Nees; Dicliptera roxburghiana var. bupleuroides (Nees) C.B. Clarke; Dicliptera roxburghii T.Anderson; Dicliptera rupestris Nees);
.
Afghanistan, Assam, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China South-Central, East Himalaya, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand, Vietnam, West Himalaya as per POWO;
.
China (Yunnan, Guizhou), India (throughout, Darjeeling, Bengal), Bhutan, Sikkim, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar [Burma] (Kachin, Mandalay, Yangon), Nepal, Bangladesh as per Catalogue of life;
. As per efi thread: D. roxburghiana (now D. chinensis) differs from Var. bupleuroides (now D. bupleuroides) in the broader, more or less obovate, bracts. (in comparison to bracts linear or linear-oblong nearly parallel-sided acuminate cuspidate in Dicliptera bupleuroides. . (i) bracts obovate or cuneate, elliptic, apiculate, not acuminate = D. roxburghiana Nees (D. chinensis)
(ii) bracts linear or linear-oblong, with nearly parallel margins, acuminate-cuspidate = var. bupleuroides (D. bupleuroides)
The key above is from “Bengal Plants”.
.
Flora of British India recognises two taxa: D. roxburghiana Nees growing in plains on N. India from Punjab to Assam (it has elliptic acute leaves; bracts elliptic or obovate, apiculate not acuminate (less than twice as long as broad-eFl China) and D. roxburghiana var. bupleuroides growing in hills from 1000-6000 ft. (which is now treated as distinct species D. bupleuroides; leaves ovate or elliptic acute or acuminate; bracts linear or linear-oblong nearly parallel sided and acuminate-cuspidate at tip)
Pakistan Flora does not list D. roxburghiana and treats D. roxburgiana auct (non Nees); T. Anders as synonym of D. bupleuroides, in which flowers are supposed to be 12-15 mm long, lists flowers shorter than 5 mm in D. verticillata which also has linear-lanceolate bracts.
Flora of China luckily includes both the species D. bupleuroides (corolla 5 mm long) and D. chinensis (L.) Juss. (with D. roxburghiana Nees as synonym). Both are reported to be growing in India, D. bupleuroides according to Useful Plants of India, CSIR known as Bouna in Simla and D. Roxburhiana as Kirch or Somni in Punjab.

Dicliptera sp. Pl. check with comparative images at Dicliptera From comparative images at Dicliptera, it appears close to Dicliptera chinensis (L.) Juss. On further examination and discussions at thread: Dicliptera bupleuroides Nees (accepted name) ??? , I feel it should be Dicliptera riparia Nees (syn: Dicliptera roxburghiana var. riparia (Nees) Benoist) as per distribution, specimens and references herein.

Clicked in Pachmarhi Dicliptera bupleuroides Nees Dicliptera bupleuroides Nees (syn: Dicliptera roxburghina auct. (non Nees which is synonym of D. chinensis)) from Mandi H. P., common in the Himalayas at lower altitudes ascending to 2200 m,
not to be confused with Peristrophe roxburghiana (Roem. et Schult.) Bremek (syn: P. tinctoria (Roxb.) Nees) which is a cultivated species with much larger flowers (nearly 3 cm as against 1.5-2 cm in D. bupleuroides) and few flowers generally towards top of branches.
Thanks Sir for indicating the difference and also I was unaware of the complex nomenclatural history of this plant. This species has been troubling for a long time, and it seems the troubles are still not over. Comparing your pictures with the illustration at Flora of Pakistan.
Thanks … for your critical observation: Here is description from Flora of British India, Page 554 for Dicliptera
“upper lip entire or emarginate”, “lower 3-toothed recurved”
As far as leaves are concerned, petiole length varies from 4 mm to 25 mm. It is usual to find lower leaves petioled and upper sessile. The photographs are from the upper region where flower-clusters are present. You may check up illustration on page 377 of “Flora Simlensis” The key features between the genera are the fruit dehiscence (which of course we are not seeing in this case) and inflorescence which in Peristrophe appears paniculate (as you can clearly see in Perstrophe paniculata and links I have provided for P. roxburghiana (syn: P. tinctotoria).
I fear the two photographs appearing at FOI belong to two different species, second possibly to Dicliptera bupleuroides, and first definitely not P. roxburghiana). P. roxburghiana is a cultivated species and not growing wild in Himalayas. You may observe my links carefully. I am uploading one more photograph to show faint notch. I am providing more links for P. roxburghiana

http://www.flickr.com/photos/25252431@N03/2436202546/ Thanks …, for the clarifications. I have always been uncertain about my identification of Peristrophe roxburghii at FOI – will give a revised look. Thanks particularly for the link of the illustration of Peristrophe roxburghiana – this is something I wanted badly. I was not too worried about Peristrophe roxburghiana being a Dicliptera chinensis as per images and details herein. Looks different from Dicliptera bupleuroides as per images and details herein.
Differences between the two species are better appreciated as per FoC illustration and FoP illustration
On further examination and discussions at thread: Dicliptera bupleuroides Nees (accepted name) ??? , I feel it should be Dicliptera riparia Nees (syn: Dicliptera roxburghiana var. riparia (Nees) Benoist) as per distribution, specimens and references herein. Dicliptera riparia has distribution only in Eastern Himalayas, not in Western Himalayas. No distribution in W. Himalayas according to POWO. Whole of India is marked. If it is in Pakistan, Western Himalayas is automatically covered. POWO treats it as accepted name and I want we should follow it D. riparia Nees is distributed in Pegu and Tenassarim (Myanmar),FBI according to Flora China Nepal, Myanmar to Yunan: Lesves ovate, obtuse often emarginate bracts, bracteoles 6 mm, linear.
D. chinensis (L.) Juss. (Syn: D. roxburghiana Nees): Leaves ovate-elliptic, base cuneate to attenuate, decurrent on petiole, outer bracteoles 5-13 mm x 3-8 mm , less than twice as long as broad, corolla 10-12 mm long; Throughout India
D. bupleuroides Nees (Syn: D. roxburghiana var. bupleuroides (Nees) Clarke): leaves ovate, base cuneate; outer bracteoles 5-7 mm long, more than twice as long as broad; corolla 5 mm long.; Throughout India
When looking for specimens from Western Himalayas we have to be vigilant about size of corolla and relative length breadth ratio of outer bracteoles.
Looking at corolla size it safely fits into D. bupleuroides Western Himalaya is neither marked in the map nor stated in the text in POWO. It is specifically mentioned in POWO, whenever there is a distribution.
POWO always mentions the following (for India and Nepal) in its text:
Western Himalaya, Eastern Himalaya,
Assam,
Nepal,
India (other than above)
For other aspects, I will again have a re-look. When whole India is marked, how can you exclude Western Himalayas. FBI says throughout India from 1-6000 ft, Himalayas from Kashmir to Assam; Collett records from Simla. This is D. bupleuroides as per details at Dicliptera roxburghiana and Dicliptera roxburghiana var. bupleuroides

In the extreme forms the bracts are 3/4 by 1/16 in., glistening ciliate, and in some of Beddome’s Malabar specimens they are almost subulate. Though the bracts are often broader than in these, the plant as a whole is tolerably well separable from D. Roxburghiana. FoP illustration POWO Keys in Flora of China Dicliptera roxburghiana Nees: Plains of N. INDIA, from the Punjab to Assam, Silhet and E. Bengal, frequent. BHOTAN ; Griffith. Stems 1-3 ft., elongate, nearly glabrous. Leaves 2.1/2 by 1 in., base cuneate ; petiole 1/4 in. Bracts nearly 1/2 by 1/5 in., often 3-nerved, ciliate, thinly pubescent. Corolla 3/4 in. Capsule 1/4 in., clavate, puberulous or glabrous. Seeds conspicuously verrucose.—The whole of the plains form of B. Roxburghiana differs from Var. bupleuroides in the broader, more or less obovate, bracts. Nees founded his species on the common Assam and E. Bengal plant, and the original ticket on his type specimen is marked Assam. Bentham, however (in Fl. Hongk. 266), says this was an error, and that this type specimen came from the Calcutta Botanic Garden ; but it is not known how Bentham discovered this. Nees, however, is in error in citing Roxburgh’s Justicia chinensis, for Roxburgh’s Ic. Ined, proves this to have been the true plant, long cultivated at Calcutta. Thus clear distinction is in the bracts (linear or linear-oblong nearly parallel-sided acuminate cuspidate in bupleuroides & more or less obovate, bracts in roxburghiana) and distribution (Throughout India in the hills, alt. 1-6000 ft., abundant in the north in bupleuroides & Plains of N. INDIA, from the Punjab to Assam, Silhet and E. Bengal, frequent in roxburghiana).
I will work on these lines to analyse our postings again. Let us keep it D. chinensis vs D. buplleurioides now, as both COL and POWO treat D. roxburghiana as synonym of D. chinensis D. bupleuroides: Outer bracteoles oblong-lanceolate, 5-7 mm, more than twice as long as broad; crorolla 5 mm long
Dicliptera bupleuroides Nees (accepted name) ??? : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (6)
Location : Pharpingl, Nepal
Date : 20 March 2017
Altitude : 4800 ft. I also think matches with images at Dicliptera bupleuroides Dicliptera chinensis as per images and details herein. Looks different from Dicliptera bupleuroides as per images and details herein.
Differences between the two species are better appreciated as per FoC illustration and FoP illustration But I could not find distribution in Nepal ! Thanks, … I checked further. I think it appears close to Dicliptera riparia Nees (syn. Dicliptera roxburghiana var. riparia (Nees) Benoist) as mentioned in the Checklist of Nepal as per GBIF– specimen.
POWO mentions its distribution in China South-Central, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand.
However, I could not find in efloras except in the Checklist of Nepal.
Catalogue of Life gives its distribution as India (Himalayas, Plains of E-, N- & NE-India, Upper Gangetic Plains), Myanmar [Burma] (Bago, Taninthayi), Thailand, Nepal.
For Dicliptera chinensis (L.) Juss. (syn. Dicliptera roxburghiana Nees), Catalogue of life (China (Fujian, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Hongkong, Macao, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan), Taiwan, Indochina, Pakistan (Baluchistan, Quetta, Waziristan, Kurram, N.W.Frontier Prov., Dir, Swat, Pakistani Punjab, Salt Range, Rawalpindi, Hazara), Ryukyu Isl., Hawaii (I) (Kauai (I), Oahu (I), Molokai (I))) does not mention its distribution in India. POWO (Afghanistan, Assam, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China South-Central, China Southeast, Hainan, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nansei-shoto, Pakistan, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam) also does not give its distribution in the Himalayas.
So it is quite possible that our Himalayan plants may also be this species.
Elevation does not match and only one sp. recorded in Kathmandu valley so far. All three similar species are listed in FBI (under names D. riparia, D. roxburghiana and D. roxburghiana var. bupleuroides): Here is comparison of accepted names D. riparia Nees is distributed in Pegu and Tenassarim (Myanmar),FBI according to Flora China Nepal, Myanmar to Yunan: Lesves ovate, obtuse often emarginate bracts, bracteoles 6 mm, linear.
D. chinensis (L.) Juss. (Syn: D. roxburghiana Nees): Leaves ovate-elliptic, base cuneate to attenuate, decurrent on petiole, outer bracteoles 5-13 mm x 3-8 mm , less than twice as long as broad, corolla 10-12 mm long; Throughout India
D. bupleuroides Nees (Syn: D. roxburghiana var. bupleuroides (Nees) Clarke): leaves ovate, base cuneate; outer bracteoles 5-7 mm long, more than twice as long as broad; corolla 5 mm long.; Throughout India
When looking for specimens from Western Himalayas we have to be vigilant about size of corolla and relative length breadth ratio of outer bracteoles. I will keep it and other similar observations from Nepal, as D.riparia, as per Checklist of Nepal and POWO 1 (D.riparia) and POWO 2 (Dicliptera chinensis (L.) Juss.), although I am yet not clear as to how to differentiate it from D.chinensis. Main distribution of D.riparia is stated to be Pegu and Tenassarim (Myanmar) as per FBI and China South-Central, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand as per POWO 1 (D.riparia), although it is not recorded in Flora of China. OK May I request you to pl. post an image from the FBI for D. riparia Nees, as I am unable to find one on the net. I think there is no need now. We keep it as Dicliptera bupleuroides Online account of Flora of Nepal says: OK .
