Abstract
Vaccinium paucicrenatum Sleumer has been re-collected from three different districts of Arunachal Pradesh approximately after 91 years subsequent to I.H. Burkill’s collection (no. 36976, K) from Ripsing of outer Abor Hills (presently a part of East and West Siang districts nearby Pashighat area) of Arunachal Pradesh on 8 March, 1912. Due to poor description by the earlier workers, the present paper provides amplified description based on field and herbarium data including leaf anatomy (leaf stomata and vein-islets), detailed extended distribution, live and herbarium images and distribution map for easy identification in the field.
Highlights
Vander Kloet et al (2003), merged Airy Shaw’s new species, Vaccinium setipes, under V. paucicrenatum Sleumer in Vaccinium sect
Aethopus Airy Shaw based on average-linkage dendrogram calculated from raw data for 76 Vaccinium OTU’s (Operational Taxonomic Unit) using the dissimilarity form of Gower’s co-efficient for mixed data, principal coordinates analysis, and partitioning analysis
Aethopus Airy Shaw merging V. setipes under V. paucicrenatum and included other four species as valid and another four species as synonyms under these valid species transferring from Vaccinium sect
Summary
Vander Kloet et al (2003), merged Airy Shaw’s new species, Vaccinium setipes, under V. paucicrenatum Sleumer in Vaccinium sect. Shaw (1948) erected a new species, V. setipes, from “Assam population of outer Abor Hills, Ripshing” (Arunachal Pradesh in India) of V. paucicrenatum Sleumer based on I.H. Burkill collection
