\n

I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Canscora<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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\u2019s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Any comments\/ corrections are welcome<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CANSCORA BHATIANA<\/strong> (GENTIANACEAE), A NEW SPECIES FROM KERALA, INDIA<\/span><\/a> by K. Subrahmanya Prasad* and K. Raveendran (2012)- (with Comparison of Canscora diffusa<\/i>, C. sanjappae<\/i>, C. devendrae<\/i> and C. bhatiana<\/i>.)
\n<\/span><\/span>ABSTRACT:<\/u> A new species of Canscora, <\/span>C. bhatiana<\/b> K. S. Prasad & K. Ravi, is described from the lateritic hillocks of Kasaragod District, Kerala. It differs from the allied <\/span>C. devendrae<\/strong> R. Kr. Singh and Diwakar in clear dichotomous apical branching, winged stem, farinaceous leaves, much reduced upper cauline leaves, pedicellate flowers, lanceolate bracts, two times longer filaments and much shorter ovary.<\/span><\/div>\n

A taxonomic revision of the genus Canscora in South India, and the erection of the new genus Canscorinella (Canscorinae, Gentianaceae) with two new combinations<\/span><\/a> by SHAHINA P.M. & SANTHOSH NAMPY*- Phytotaxa 164 (4): 201\u2013225- 2014- (with<\/span> Keys<\/strong> & details to the South Indian species of Canscora<\/span>.)
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Abstract<\/u> The genus Canscora in South India is revised based on field and herbarium studies and in consultation with types and protologues. <\/span>C. pauciflora<\/strong>, which was previously treated as conspecific to <\/span>C. diffusa<\/em> is reinstated while <\/span>C. sanjappae<\/em> and <\/span>C. devendrae<\/em> are synonymised under <\/span>C. diffusa<\/strong> and <\/span>C. stricta<\/em> (= <\/span>Canscorinella stricta<\/strong>) respectively. The present study supports the exclusion of two species of Canscora i.e., C. stricta and C. bhatiana resulting in the establishment of the new genus Canscorinella and two new combinations: <\/span>Canscorinella stricta<\/strong> and <\/span>Canscorinella bhatiana<\/strong>. The new genus Canscorinella is characterized by the presence of actinomorphic corolla and isomorphic stamens. This brings the number of species currently recognized for the genus Canscora to eleven worldwide, six (55 %) of which occurring in South India. Descriptions, photo plates and keys to the South Indian species of Canscora and Canscorinella are provided here.<\/span><\/div>\n

Thanks, …, May be authors can say better. May be there are some other papers after them.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Problem with Catalogue of Life is that they do not give references of publications as done by GRIN.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

There had been random publications in the group in recent past which lead on to more confusions than solutions. This paper is valuable as it clarifies some doubts. Can I have a PDF of the full paper for reference?<\/p>\n
