Abstract

Haplanthus laxiflorus (Blume) Gnanasek., G.V.S.Murthy & Y.F.Deng is reported here as a new generic record for the flora of Nepal. A detailed description, along with notes on habitat, distribution, photographs and a herbarium image have all been provided. This species can be easily distinguished by its distinctly pouched filaments inserted at the base of subactinomorphic corolla.
