Typification and rediscovery of <i>Phialacanthus griffithii</i> Benth. & Hook.f. (Acanthaceae) in Arunachal Pradesh, India
Phialacanthus griffithii Benth. & Hook.f. (Acanthaceae), a species long thought unrecorded, was rediscovered in 2023 after a 160‐year gap in the Upper Dibang Valley, Eastern Himalaya, Arunachal Pradesh. The study presents a comprehensive taxonomic account including lectotypification, morphological description, phenology, habitat ecology, distribution and examined specimens. A color photoplate and distribution map are included to assist field identification.
