Shivparvatia glanduligera (Edgew.) Pusalkar & D.K. Singh, J. Jpn. Bot. 90: 84. 2015 Figs 2 , 3 , 4

≡ Arenaria glanduligera Edgew. in Edgew. & Hook. f., Fl. Brit. India 1: 240. 1874.

Type.

Lectotype (designated here): Kashmir, H. Falconer s.n. (K000742189, Fig. 2 ); Remaining syntypes: INDIA. Interior of Sikkim, 14,000-18,000 ft, J.D. Hooker s.n. (K, Fig. 3 ); Kumaon, Barji Kang pass, 14,500 ft, R. Strachey & J.E. Winterbottom s.n. (K, Fig. 4 ).

Note.

Morphologically, S. glanduligera can be easily distinguished from S. ciliolata by its glandular pubescence, prominent disc gland, not pure white and usually violet petals, and scarious sepal margin. In contrast, the latter is characterized by its ciliate pubescence, small disc gland, entirely pure white petals, and thickened sepal margin ( Wu et al. 2001; Pusalkar and Singh 2015).
