Abstract
Brachyscome assamica C.B. Clarke (1876: 40) is a small shrubby herb, restricted to Assam State of northeast India and it is the only known species of the genus Brachyscome Cassini (1816: 199) occurring in India. It can be readily recognized by its 1–2-seriate elliptic involucral bracts with scarious margins, longer, whitish, violet-tinged ligules, beaked achenes, and the absence of a pappus. Clarke (1876) described the species based on material seen at the Calcutta Herbarium (CAL) collected from Dihing River Rocks, Namsang, in Upper Assam, India. Hooker (1881: 249) mentioned that he knew “nothing of this plant, which exists only in the Calcutta Herbarium, where Clarke described it”. Hajra (1995: 102), in revision of the family Asteraceae in “Flora of India”, indicated that no relevant material could be found at the CAL.
