DANCING BUTTERFLIES OF THE EAST HIMALAYAS \u2013 NEW MECONOPSIS SPECIES FROM EAST BHUTAN, ARUNACHAL PRADESH AND SOUTH TIBET<\/span><\/a> The Journal of Botanic Garden Horticulture, No. 14- Toshio Yoshida, Rinchen Yangzom & David Long (2017):<\/span><\/div>\n
Abstract<\/u>: The region from eastern Bhutan to Arunachal Pradesh of India and the adjacent south-eastern Tibet and northern Myanmar seems to be one of the last frontiers not only for Meconopsis<\/em> hunting but also for other botanical exploration. Although there remain political difficulties for foreigners to approach the unsettled border between India and China, including the famous Tsari valley with its prominently rich flora, which was visited by Frank Ludlow, George Sherriff, Frank Kingdon-Ward and a few other plant hunters before 1950, some botanical and horticultural treasures in this region have gradually been revealed to recent travellers. As a result of examining the photographs taken by these travellers and our own botanical field research in eastern Bhutan in 2014, accompanied by subsequent herbarium studies, two species new to science are described. The first, from eastern Bhutan and adjacent Arunachal Pradesh and Tibet, has long been cultivated under the names M. grandis<\/em> or M. grandis<\/em> GS600, and has recently been described as M. grandis<\/em> subsp. orientalis<\/em> (Grey-Wilson, 2010). It is the national flower of Bhutan. However, the type of M. grandis<\/em> from Sikkim belongs to a species quite distinct from the eastern populations and the latter is now described as a new species, Meconopsis gakyidiana<\/em>. The second novelty, Meconopsis merakensis<\/em>, is newly described from eastern Bhutan and adjacent Arunachal Pradesh. In the past this species was confused with the closely allied M. prainiana<\/em>. The two species are isolated geographically, M. prainiana<\/em> being found only much further to the north-east, in south-eastern Tibet, including the Tsari valley. The title of this article is based on a comparison made by Frank Kingdon-Ward of Meconopsis flowers with butterflies in Tibet (see below).<\/span><\/div>\n

\n1b. Plant often forming a substantial clump with a compact base, lower in stature (to 70cm tall), semi-scapose with short stems and erect, long and thick pedicels; leaves usually clustered near the base, occasionally regularly alternate along stem and in this case leaves are usually narrow and erect along the stem; lamina narrower, sub-entire or coarsely toothed; bracts not clasping; fruit capsules longer and narrower, to 7cm long, glabrescent …….

    Meconopsis autumnalis and M. manasluensis (Papaveraceae), two new species of Himalayan poppy endemic to central Nepal with sympatric congeners<\/a> by PAUL A. EGAN- Phytotaxa 20: 47\u201356 (2011)<\/div>\n
    Abstract<\/u>– Two new species from Nepal, Meconopsis autumnalis<\/strong> and M. manasluensis<\/strong>, are described and illustrated with notes on diagnostic characters used to distinguish them from allied species. Sympatric speciation and the mechanisms to reproductively isolate the new species are discussed. In M. autumnalis, reproductive isolation from the widespread M. paniculata<\/strong> is the result of a shift in flowering phenology, whereas possible mechanisms preventing cross-fertilisation between M. manasluensis and the sympatric species M. pinnatifolia<\/strong> remain unclear.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Meconopsis<\/span><\/a> <\/span>(Pl. click).<\/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><\/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><\/p>\n

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

    \n

    I have added list of Indian species based on Flora of India.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    Thanks, … The species at other links match well with this list.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
