Three of these six species were originally described from SW China; <i>P. sinica</i>, <i>P. pachystachya</i> W.H.Chen & Y.M.Shui (Chen & Shui 2003: 489) and <i>P. minutiflora</i> N.Tanaka, J.Murata & S.K.Wu (Tanaka <i>et al.</i> 2013: 135). The new species is distinguishable from them chiefly by the larger leaf blades with more numerous longitudinal veins, longer peduncle, larger drooping (vs ascending) flowers, internally whitish yellow (vs purple or greenish purple) perianth, larger corona with a relatively narrow distal opening, and almost superior (vs distinctly half-inferior) ovary. The other three of the six species were described from NE India; <i>P. arunachalensis</i> (Roy <i>et al.</i> 2017), <i>P. nagalandensis</i> and <i>P. tobuensis</i> (Odyuo <i>et al.</i> 2020). <i>P.maheswariana</i> sp. nov. differs from <i>P.arunachalensis</i> mainly by the longer leaf blades (20-40 vs 16.5-21.5 cm), longer racemes (6-15 vs 2-3 cm), more numerous flowers (18-30 vs 7-10), and shorter anthers (1.2-1.3 vs 3-3.5 mm); from <i>P. tobuensis</i> by the longer racemes (6-15 vs 2-4 cm), orbicular (vs hexagonal) corona and longer anthers (1.2-1.3 vs 0.3-0.4 mm); from <i>P. nagalandensis</i> by its shorter anthers (1.2-1.3 vs 2-2.5 mm) and almost superior (vs inferior) ovaries. Several selected key distinguishing characters of <i>P. maheswariana</i> sp. nov. and four other related species are compared in Table 1. For the details of differences between the six previously known long-caulescent species and an identification key to them, see Odyuo <i>et al.</i> (2020).</p> <p> The long, proximally creeping stem of these seven species (including <i>P.maheswariana</i> sp. nov.) is deemed as apomorphic (vs acaulescent or short stem). The species having this trait are hence regarded as members of a monophyletic group. It is highly desirable to conduct a further analysis of their evolutionary relationships.</p>Published as part of <i>Borah, Dipankar, Taram, Momang & Tanaka, Noriyuki, 2024, Peliosanthes maheswariana D.

    No full text
    This commentary article discusses the chapter titled ‘Assam: Identity Movements and Insurgent Politics’ – ‘Assamese Identity Issues’ in Udayon Misra's book "India’s North East: Identity Movements, State and Civil Society" (2014), focusing on the Assam movement and its implications for Assamese identity. The author sheds light on how the movement was centered around the issues and questions between foreign migrants and indigenous people, highlighting the struggle for linguistic identity and the yearning for a unified homeland. The commentary also underscores the need for social and political cohesion, effective conflict management, and inclusive governance to ensure a peaceful resolution and foster the development of Assamese society. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the historical context, starting with rich debates spanning over many decades

    Abstract: This research article explains how source code is assessed at the Front End and Back End of the compiler and which sections source code must pass and parse in order to generate target code. Furthermore, this paper discusses the concept of Pre-processors, Translators, Linkers, and Loaders, as well as the mechanism for using them and produces the code for the target The focus of this paper is on the concept of Compiler and Compiler Phases. Keywords: Macro, Token, Lexemes, Identifier, Operators, Operands, Sentinel, Prefix, Postfix, IC, IR, Binary program.

    Phrase and Idiom Identification in Assamese

    No full text
    AbstractIdentification of phrases and idioms is an indispensable part of computational linguistics work. In case of Assamese, this is a challenging topic mainly because of the cases and affixes used in the language. Though, this language is an Eastern Indo-Aryan language spoken by around 30 million people, this topic has not been studied much, as very little computational linguistics work has been done for this language. Assamese language is a relatively free word order language. Context Free Grammar (CFG) can be applied in phrase level by taking extra care in defining the production rules. In this paper, we explain about a method which can be considered as modified context free grammar. Different production rules for phrases can be defined using this modified context free grammar. In this method, the right hand side of the production rules is treated as a free string. So that free word order phenomenon can be dealt with. Different idioms are also analyzed in terms of their syntax and use, to find out the similarities among them to build a dictionary of idioms. Difficulties in parsing phrases and idioms are also discussed and some of the techniques are also provided to overcome those difficulties
