Lomatogonium gaurgopalii, a new species of gentianaceae from sikkim himalaya
TL;DR: Lomatogonium gaurgopalii sp.
Abstract: Lomatogonium gaurgopalii sp. nov., a new species of Gentianaceae from Sikkim Himalaya, is described and illustrated. It can be distinguished from its morphologically closest relative, Lomatogonium cherukurianum S.K.Dey & D.Maity, mainly by its robust habit, longer internodes, much larger creamy yellow flower and much larger floral parts; the presence of many hairs in an inverted semilunar arrangement behind the filament bases; and its larger, narrowly ovoid to narrowly ellipsoid ovary. Lomatogonium gaurgopalii is also unique in having pollen grains with striate-reticulate exine ornamentation without perforations.

Abstract: Lomatogonium madhmaheshwariansis (Gentianaceae), a new species from Himalaya, Uttarakhand state, India is described and illustrated. This species is similar to L. carinthiacum, but differs mainly in having a robust habit, quadrangular stems, cordate leaves, bracts absent, erect pedicel, calyx lobe with entire margin, corolla light purple with no striations, few fimbriae appendages and a biangular stigma. It is growing in specific environments of temperate to sub-alpine regions. A population mapping and threat assessment for L. madhmaheshwariansis has been undertaken and using IUCN criteria it is classified as endangered (EN) in Himalaya. A key to all Indian species of Lomatogonium is provided for easy identification.
