    Allmania multiflora V.S.A.Kumar, V.Suresh, S.Arya, & Iamonico sp. nov. (Figs. 7–8). Type:— INDIA. Kerala, Palakkad district, way to Kollengode, ± 160 m, 10°35’34.2”N 76°42’48.1”E, 18 May 2019, Suresh & Anil Kumar 2850 (holotype UCBD; isotype CALI!, KFRI!, RO!). Diagnosis (Table 7):— Allmania multiflora differs from A. nodiflora in having shorter tepals (2.2–2.5 mm and ovatelanceolate vs. 3.3–3.6 mm long and linear-lanceolate), wider gynoecium [(0.3–) 0.4–0.5 mm vs. 0.2–0.3(–0.4) mm long], the diameter of the seeds (1.5–1.9 mm vs. 2.9–3.7 mm), shorter bracts (1.0– 1.2 mm vs. 2.0– 2.4 mm long), shorter and pubescent peduncle (1.0– 1.3 cm long, pubescent with pointed hairs vs. 2.0– 2.7 cm long, glabrous or sparsely pubescent), a higher number of flowers per inflorescence [(15–)30–44 vs. 3–10), stigma pinkish or violet, protruding beyond the anthers (vs. green, not protruding), hairiness of the seeds (highly pubescent vs. glabrous), aril with protruding setae (vs. without setae). Description (Figs. 7–9):—Annual herb, erect or ascending with branches arising from the base, up to 60 cm long. Stem red to violet at the base, green in the rest, pubescent. Stipules hard and deciduous. Leaves ovate-elliptic or lanceolate (1.0–2.5 × 0.5–1.5 mm), apex obtuse or acute, base attenuate, pubescent at the margin and adaxial surface, veined (5–7 pairs of lateral arcuate veins), petioled (0.5–1.0 cm long). Inflorescence in cymose heads, leaf opposed, peduncled, peduncle 1.0– 1.3 cm long, pubescent. Flowers (15–)30–44 per inflorescence; bracts ovate-lanceolate to linear-lanceolate, 1.0– 1.2 mm long, pubescent, with membranous border, abruptly interrupted at about the half (bracts awned), eglandular; bracteoles lanceolate to narrowly ovate, 2.9–3.6 × 0.5–0.8 mm, awned, pubescent outside at the distal part, glabrous at margins. Tepals 5 lanceolate 5.7–7.3 × 0.5–0.7 mm. Stamens 5, 0.6–2.0 cm long, glabrous, creamy white; filaments basally connate, forming a rim around the gynoecium. Pollen polypantoporate, 15–18 µm in size, pores 2–3, pollen surface spinulose. Ovary ovoid, 4.3–5.8 × (0.3–) 0.4–0.5 mm, usually white (sometimes greenish), glabrous; style 0.1–0.2 cm long, extending beyond the filaments, glabrous; stigma capitate, pinkish-violet. Fruits utricle, light green to white, 1.4–2.0 × 0.6–0.8 mm. Seeds ovate, 1.5–1.9 × 1.7–2.1 mm in size, brownish-black, with aril at the base having protruding setae, surface densely pubescent. Etymology:— The new species name refers to the characteristic occurrence of many flowers in a single glomerule. Distribution (fig. 10), habitat, and phenology:— Allmania multiflora is known from few locations in SW-India (Kerala State), at 1000–1250 m of elevation. The distribution area of the new species partially overlaps that of A. nodiflora in Palakkad and Thiruvananthapuram districts. It grows in open areas of the granite hillocks with 25–30 scattered individuals per population. Each population spreads over an area of nearly 1–2 m 2. Flowering and fruiting times are May to September. Conservation status:— The plant propagates mainly through seeds (rarely by rooting at stem nodes). The number of individuals is very few and prone to severe grazing and repeated fire. The exploitation of taxon as a vegetable is another threat, especially by local people along with amaranths. Following the IUCN Red List Guidelines and Criteria (IUCN 2019), Allmania multiflora is assessed as Critically Endangered (ER) in the category [B2a,b(iii,v)] since AOO is about 30 m 2, locations are 4, and decline observed in the quality of the habitat (iii).

    The priority for ideas and philosophy related to "Network Theory" have been traced back and documented by Braun(2004),and credit goes to Karinthy(1929).The IT has empowered to realise it, as the most practical phenomena and it is no more a humour. The OAI (Open Archives Initiatives)and ACIS (Academic Contributor Information System)are progressive in the direction ,which may lead to realise the "Collective Genius" at global level. Focus of present study is on Author-Self-Archiving (A-S-A)Metadata of the 983 Eprints in the Live Archives of the E-LIS (EPrints of Library and Information Science),which were approved till 7th July 2004.The A-S-A Metadata was used for librametric analysis. Self-explanatory bibliographics are illustrated.The highlights include: Conference papers (34%); highest approval, June 2004 (28%); published archives (76%);not refereed (52%); not in public domain (60%); highest self-archiving-author (De Robbio, Antonella).The Nos. of EPrints having single JITA domain specifications were: Theoretical and general aspects of libraries and information(27); Information use and sociology of information(80);Users,literacy and reading(13);Libraries as physical collections(30);Publishing and legal issues(57);Management(13);Industry, profession and education(36);Information sources, supports, channels(113) ; Information treatment for information services, Information functions and techniques (101); Technical services libraries, archives and museums(25); Housing technologies(1); Information technology and library technology(92); and Inter-domainery (395) i.e. having specifications of two or more than two JITA classes
