Macrosolen cochinchinensis from Arunachal Pradesh

[Madhusudhan Khanal]

Respected experts. Kindly help me know if the distribution of M.cochinchinensis have been reported from Arunachal Pradesh or not. I tried but couldn't find its distribution in AP. Attached herewith are photos of the same. Thank you.

Regards,

I guess this is Macrosolen globosus (Roxb.) Tiegh. There are 3 sp. havin distribution in AP viz.; globosus, 

cochinchinensis  and psilanthus .

Thank you.

More about the keys. 

Interestingly Checklist of Nepal gives Loranthus globosus Roxb. as a syn. of Macrosolen cochinchinensis (Lour.) Tiegh.

I think we have to re-check all our ids in eFI based on these keys and GBIF specimens etc.

All databases say Loranthus globosus is the synonym of Macrosolen globosus (Roxb.) Tiegh. 

efloraNepal is also not 100 %  accurate .

Thank you.

Although treated as separate species they show affinities in some characters and flowers resambles each other to a greater extent. Although in my specimen leaf veins isn't prominent on both surfaces and the midrib extends to the tip , also the corolla tube split just above the middle suggestive of M.globosus. 

[J.M. Garg]

So there is a possibility of both species being found there in Nepal.

So far only cochinsinensis is recorded in Nepal !

Thank you.

[J.M. Garg]

Then why Checklist of Nepal gives Loranthus globosus Roxb. as a syn. of Macrosolen cochinchinensis (Lour.) Tiegh.?

I have mentioned earlier that efloraNepal is also not 100 % accurate and the latest book by KK shrestha et all

has no mention about it nor any databases like POWO, GBIF,CoL, IPNI and WFO.

Thank you.

Sir I checked both species. Both shows shouldered edges. Slightly more in case of M.cochinchinensis. Thank you.
