Reassessment of the taxonomic status and proposal for a new combination of Phaeanthus moulmeinensis (Miliuseae: Malmeoideae: Annonaceae)
摘要
The taxonomic status of Phaeanthus moulmeinensis is revisited and a new combination is made under Polyalthia s.s., providing the correct status. The occurrence of this species is recorded for the first time for the Flora of India. The ambiguous occurrence of Polyalthia rufescens in the Andaman Islands is also discussed. The present study confirms the occurrence of P. rufescens restricted only to the Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu and Kerala, India.
