Abstract

A new speciesSaussurea talungensisS.K.Ghimire & H.K.Rana,sp. nov.(sect. Strictae), from Talung valley of Humla district, Nepal, is described and illustrated. Morphologically, this species resemblesSaussurea royleiandSaussurea lanatain habit, though it can be distinguished in having longer leaf petioles, purplish leaf margin, 1 or 3 capitula, shorter phyllaries, shorter receptacle bristles and the same anthers, comparatively shorter corolla with shorter lobes. Phylogenomic analysis also supportsS. talungensisas a distinct species ofSaussurea. Here, we provide taxonomic note, distribution map and phylogenomic inference to distinguish the new species and its allied members.
