FLORA OF NEPAL NOTULAE V: NEW SPECIES AND COMBINATIONS IN HIMALAYAN PLANTAGINACEAE AND SCROPHULARIACEAE

Abstract

Two new species in the genus Lagotis Gaertn. (Plantaginaceae) are described from Nepal. Specimens of Lagotis annupurnensis and L. geniculiflora were formerly identified as belonging to the polymorphic species L. kunawurensis. They are distinguished from this species by their geniculate or bent corollas. Lagotis annapurnensis and L. geniculiflora are distinguished from each other by the size and shape of their bracts. A key to the species in Nepal is provided. Two combinations are made in Nanorrhinum (Plantaginaceae), and two combinations in Scrophularia (Scrophulariaceae), to reflect changes in the taxonomy of Kickxia Blume and Oreosolen Hook.f.
