While working on the taxonomy of genus Aconitum from India, we collected specimens from East region of Sikkim Himalaya during September 2014, where we came across a small population of Aconitum taxon which was apparently different from other existing populations in the surrounding area. On critical examination, we observed that these specimens were strikingly different from the rest of the collections in Sikkim Himalaya.

Abstract


While working on the taxonomy of genus Aconitum from India, we collected specimens from East region of Sikkim Himalaya during September 2014, where we came across a small population of Aconitum taxon which was apparently different from other existing populations in the surrounding area. On critical examination, we observed that these specimens were strikingly different from the rest of the collections in Sikkim Himalaya.
