Abstract

Six taxa, viz., Anemone obtusiloba D. Don var. potentilloides Lauener, Eriocapitella rupicola (Cambess.) Pusalkar, D.K. Singh & S.K. Srivast. var. glabriuscula (Hook.f.) Pusalkar, D.K. Singh & S.K. Srivast. (Ranunculaceae), Ilex excelsa (Wall.) Hook.f. var hypotricha (Loesener) S.Y. Hu (Aquifoliaceae), Paeonia emodi Wall. ex Royle var. glabrata Hook.f. & Thomson (Ranunculaceae), Parrya nudicaulis (L.) Regael (Brassicaceae) and Ranunculus hirtellus Royle var. orientalis W.T. Wang (Ranunculaceae) are reported as new records for Uttarakhand flora. Of these, Ranunculus hirtellus var. orientalis W.T. Wang is a new record for Indian flora and Ilex excelsa var hypotricha (Loesener) S.Y. Hu is a new record for the western Himalayan flora as well. A new combination is proposed under the genus Eriocapitella Nakai (Ranunculaceae) and a note is appended on status, morpho-taxonomy and distribution of widely mis-understood species Arenaria kumaonensis Maxim. (Caryophyllaceae).
