Fwd: Gesneriaceae?,Koloriang,Kurung Kumey,Arunachal Pradesh. 26.10.16 : 10 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (4) I can see the divided stigma in the central flower, so it should be a Henckelia. Most probably H. urticifolia (Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don) A. Dietr (Gesneriaceae). Pl also check the following link: Plant collected from Koloriang is HENCKELIA GRANDIFLORA Does not seem to match with images of at Chirita macrophylla Wall. (syn. of Henckelia grandifolia A.Dietr.)

Henckelia umbellata (Gesneriaceae), a new species from the eastern Himalaya of India– Kanthraj A.S., Rana T.S. & K.N. Nair, Rheedea Vol 30(1) 2020 (Abstract- A new species of Henckelia, H. umbellata is described from Arunachal Pradesh, India. H. umbellata sp. nov. can be easily distinguished by its umbellate inflorescence from other congeners. It superficially resembles H. longisepala (H.W.Li) D.J.Middleton & Mich.Möller in the large paired involucral bracts enclosing the flowers. It also shows similarity with H. urticifolia (Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don) A.Dietr. in habit, presence of glandular trichomes inside the corolla tube and glabrous ovary but several other characters are distinct between the species. A detailed description of the new species along with colour photographs, distribution, affinities and comparison with related species is given)
