Slender evergreen medium sized hemi epiphytic herbs to 3 m. Juvenile shoots stoloniferous, 4–6 mm in diam., with conspicuous nodes giving a segmented appearance; internodes cylindrical, 3–7 cm long, rooting. Adult shoots climbing; stem cylindrical, 4–6 mm diam., segmented in appearance; internodes 2.0– 3.5 cm long, drying dark brown. Leaves distichous, scattered; petiole 15–28 cm long, narrowly sheathing; sheaths c. 2/3 as long as the petiole, 3–6 mm wide, membranous, glabrous; leaf blade oblong, 25–35 × 10–15 cm, acute at base, entire along margins, cuspidate – acuminate at apex (acumen 2.5–3.0 cm long), chartaceous, glabrous; lateral veins 12–15 on each side, prominent, 1.5–2.0 cm distant, spreading and arched. Inflorescence axillary, 2–3 in each floral shoot; peduncle spreading, cylindrical, 15–25 cm long, glabrous. Fruit a berry, ovoid, 8–10 mm long, distinctly truncate at apex, thick walled, smooth, red on ripening, dark brownish when dry. Flowering & Fruiting:— April-July. Distribution:— India: Katchal Island, Andaman & Nicobar Islands; China, Indo-China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines. Habitat:— Common in shaded inland forests. Specimen examined:— India, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Katchal Island, East Bay, 7 th May 1977, P . Chakraborty 5614 (PBL!). Notes:— Hooker (1893) described Anadendrum latifolium based on the three collections viz., Scortechini 577b and Kings’ collector 5961 & 8323 collected from the Perak region of Malay Peninsula. There are 6 specimens available in 4 herbaria viz., Scortechini, B ., Coll. No. 577b [K000401076]; King’s collector, Coll. No. 5961, [K000401077, image!; SING 0043211, image!], King’s collector, Coll. No. 8323 [K000401078, image!, BM000957215, image!] and a single herbarium sheet (possibly the Scortechini collection without any number) with a line drawing and a collection number of 577b is available at CAL. Of these, the better preserved specimen K000401076 from Kew herbarium, is designated here as the lectotype as it agrees well with the protologue.Published as part of Rasingam, Ladan & Karthigeyan, Kaliyamurthy, 2021, Notes on the distribution of Anadendrum latifolium (Araceae) in India and its lectotypification, pp. 149-152 in Phytotaxa 500 (2) on pages 149-151, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.500.2.9, http://zenodo.org/record/542453

No full textA new species Tripogon nallamalayanus is described from Nagarjunasagar Srisailam Tiger Reserve of Nallamala forests, Telangana, India. This new species most closely resembles Tripogon trifidus, but differs in spikelets and lower glumes lengths and lemma and palea shapes.</jats:p

Validation of the name Amorphophallus candidissimus (Araceae)
No full textWhile identifying a species of Amorphophallus Blume ex Decaisne (1834: 366), nom. cons. collected from the Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh, India, the authors came across the protologue of Amorphophallus candidissimus X.Gong & H.Li (2012: 201) described from Vietnam, but it was not validly published, as two different collections (leaf and inflorescence) collected in two different dates were indicated as “holotype” in contrary to Art. 8.1 and 40.2 (see Ex. 1) of the Melbourne Code (McNeill et al. 2012). Hence, the name A. candidissimus is validated here by designating a single collection (flowering material) as a holotype. The other collection (leaf material) is considered as a paratype, as it also depicts one of the diagnostic characters (lamina lacking bulbils) of the species.</jats:p

No full textMitring Persia in The Faerie Queene
No full textInternational audienceReligious assessments of Persia in the late sixteenth century undergo continuous revisions over short intervals and sometimes even from one author to another, as is the case in Spenser’s The Faerie Queene and its exact contemporary 2 Tamburlaine. The former casts Persia as mitre-wearing and Catholic, while the latter shows a Persianate army commander snatching the mitre off a catholicized adversary’s head. By turns classical and topical, the Persian mitre in its many iterations proves a symbol of spiritual and temporal power changing hands as conveniently as a stage prop, in fictions making the prospect of a Persian rapprochement possible, but circumstantial
A Comparative Study Of The Printed And Hypertext Novel 10:01
No full textIn the postmodern era. the mutual impression between printed literature and digital media has embedded narratives into interactive environments and new genres like hypertext fiction are created. Lance Olsen has adapted his postmodern printed novel entitled 10:01 into the hypertext version which is in the digital fonn. Considering that both novels are postmodern literary works by the same author this adaptation has produced certain questions; how can the narrative structure of the hypertext fiction be compared to the printed one? The second question that arises is how can aesthetic experiences be different in the reading processes of both versions
