On detailed checking with keys, specimens and descriptions in Flora of Bhutan, Catalogue of Life, Flora of China, FOC illustration, GBIF and Checklist of Nepal for about two hours, I feel it is close to Elatostema cuspidatum Wight var. cuspidatum.

Elatostema sessile J. R. Forster & G. Forster as listed in Check of Nepal and Flora of Bhutan (1983), is not distributed in these areas as per Catalogue of Life; However, Elatostema sessile var. cuspidatum (Wight) Wedd. synonym for Elatostema cuspidatum Wight is given distribution as China (NW-Fujian, W-Guangxi, Guizhou, SW-Hubei, Hunan, SW-Jiangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan), S-Tibet, NE-India, Nepal, Myanmar [Burma], Bangladesh. Also Elatostema sessile var. cyrtandrifolia (Zoll. & Mor.) Wedd. synonym for Elatostema cyrtandrifolium (Zoll. & Mor.) Miq. is given distribution as China (Fujian, S-Gansu, N-Guangdong, W-Guangxi, Guizhou, W-Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, SE-Yunnan), Taiwan, Bhutan, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar [Burma] (Kachin, Sagaing, Shan), Sikkim, Laos.

Thanks a lot, Monro ji and Fu ji.

I feel peduncle may be around 3 to say 6 mm (just a guess).

What would you say about

Elatostema cuspidatum Wight var. cuspidatum as per Flora of China, FOC illustration, GBIF ?

Dear Saroj

 

This is the opinion of my collaborator Fu Long-Fei: ‘Elatostema dissectum. However, the peduncle is shorter than normal. Do you know the length of this species?’ If you could provide an estimate of the peduncle length this would be helpful.

 

Thanks, Alex

Dear Garg

 

I made a carefully checking with Chinese Elatostema species. I found a species E. pseudocuspidatum fits your images better (Please see attached). I also attached image of E. cuspidatum showing the difference. E. cuspidatum has wider stipule with one green nerve in the middle of stipule. The margin is also different.

 

Hope this can help you.

 

Best wishes
