Drypetes kalamii- A new species of Drypetes from West Bengal : 1 post by 1 author. Attachments (1)
Krishna, Gopal, K. Karthigeyan, W. Arisdason and T. Chakrabarty 2017. A new species of Drypetes (Putranjivaceae/Euphorbiaceaes.l.) from West Bengal, India Phytotaxa 319 (3): 271–276. Congrats to Gopal Krishna ji & other authors. 
Phytotaxa (Abstract:  A new species, Drypetes kalamii, collected from the subtropical forests of two different Protected Areas, Buxa National Park and Jaldapara National Park in the state of West Bengal, India, is described and illustrated. This new species closely resembles Drypetes ellisii, but differs in being small shrub (female plants) or scrambling shrub (male plants) with corrugated branches and puberulous branchlets, longer petioles, laminae abruptly acuminate with pointed apices, slender and puberulent fruiting pedicels with bracts and bracteoles and smaller, ovoid-globose drupes.)

Thank you ... Their paper appeared prior to mine. However, my paper contains some more surprises and it will be published soon!

Second-step lectotypification and a new synonym of Pycnarrhena pleniflora (Menispermaceae) (Abstract- The name Pycnarrhena pleniflora was inadvertently lectotypified before 2001 and therefore it requires second-step lectotypification which is proposed here. The recently described species Drypetes kalamii (Putranjivaceae/Euphorbiaceae s.l.) is treated here as its synonym.)
