A Note on the Typification of Myrsine semiserrata Wall. (Primulaceae)

Myrsine semiserrata was described by Wallich in Roxburgh’s Flora Indica based on the materials collected by him from Nepal. Herbarium specimens were studied from different herbaria across the globe. In the country different herbaria like ARUN, ASSAM, BSD, CAL, DD, Llyod Botanic Garden herbarium, Guwahati University herbarium were visited to record the morphological variations present in the species. This work deals with detailed morphological study from live specimen as well as available herbarium materials involving all original materials to address morphological variations. A lectotype has been selected here for M. semiserrata.
