<i>Eskemukerjea</i> Malick & Sengupta (Polygonaceae) - a new generic record for the flora of India
The monotypic genus Eskemukerjea (Polygonaceae), represented by the species Eskemukerjea megacarpum, is reported here as a new record for India from the state of Sikkim. The genus was hitherto known only from Nepal and China. The present study provides an account of E. megacarpum in India, including a photographic plate to aid in accurate identification.
