Dear Colleagues,

 We last corresponded in January 2020. Now, I am working on the  Cucurbitaceae and Melastomataceae of Nepal, and in this context, I would like to send a few updates concerning the names of Indian species occurring in the Himalayan foothills, such as Medinilla erythrophylla and others.

To whom should I send my updates?

Best wishes,
Susanne Renner

Hello friends

Saw this climber at Kaas in Satara. MH in October 2019.

Similar climbers found at Kas have been labelled Zehneria bodinieri in efi.

Are these Z. bodinieri as well? Requested to please provide feedback.

Thanks and regards
Alka Khare

Dear J. M. Garg,

Great. The first update is that Medinilla erythrophylla Wall. ex Lindl. trom the Himalayan foothills s no longer considered a synonym of M. rubicunda, which a Malaysian species. 

This has been shown in the dissertation a 2024 dissertation that is freely available online:

Systematics, Biogeography, and Floral Trait Evolution of the Plant Genus, Medinilla (Melastomataceae)

I will send you more updates tomorrow. Just now, I am working on the Melastomataceae and Cucurbitaceae for the Flora of Nepal, which of course has much overlap with northern India.

Your great fan,

Susanne Renner

Subject: Another update to the eFlora of India regarding Melastomataceae
To: J.M. Garg <jmg...@gmail.com>

Another update concerns Sonerila stricter Hooker, Bot. Mag. 74 [ser. 3, vol. 4]: t. 4394. 1848

Type: "The seeds were received by Messrs. Veitch and Son of Exeter from Mr. Thomas Lobb, who collected them in Java. flowering specimens were sent to me in May, 1848"

 

This Javanese species is not in India (nor Nepal and Buthan).

Thank you and best wishes,

Susanne
