One neotype, three second-step lectotypes and fourty lectotypes are designated for fourty four names in Indian Impatiens to fix the identity and to avoid the misapplication of names. Thirty nine names are synonymized, after a detailed ecological study of live plants in the field and examination of herbarium specimens including types. Six new combinations with change in their status are proposed for six taxa.

Seventeen species and five varieties of Indian Leucas R. Br. are lectotypified here:

The genus Impatiens Linnaeus (1753: 937) consists of about 1000 species, distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of the Old World as well as in the northern temperate regions (Mabberley 2008). In India there are about 215 species of Impatiens recorded so far, of which 142 species are endemic, and the diversity occurs in two regions, viz. the Eastern Himalayas and the Western Ghats. During systematic study of this genus in the Western Ghats region of India, I realized that it was necessary to typify 36 binomials of 35 recognized endemic species from the Western Ghats, because no specific herbarium sheet was cited as holotype in protologue of these names and also yet not typified (Vivekananthan et al. 1997, Rathakrishnan 2005, Bhaskar 2012). Here lectotypes are chosen for 35 names and a neotype for one name. The images of the lectotypes, isolectotypes, residual syntypes and neotype specimens at BR, E, G, K, M, MPU, NY and P are available online (http://www.br.fgov.be/research/collections/herbarium, http://elmer.rbge.org.uk/bgbase/vherb/bgbasevherb.php, http://www.ville-ge.ch/musinfo/bd/cjb/chg, http://apps.kew.org/herbcat/navigator.do, https://plants.jstor.org, http://www.collections.univ-montp2.fr/herbier-mpu-presentation/base-de-donnees-botanique-herbier-mpu, http://sweetgum.nybg.org/science/vh & https://science.mnhn.fr/institution/mnhn/search/form), while those at BSI, CAL and MH are not available online. Therefore, the images of selected lectotypes from MH are provided here.

The present investigation deals with the diversity of climbers, trailers and parasitic plants in botanical garden, Botanical Survey of India, Central Regional Centre, Allahabad, U.P. There are 75 species under 61 genera belonging to 27 families. The climbers here discussed were cultivated (as some species of Cucurbits), wild and ornamental. The species were listed according to Bentham and Hooker’s system of classification with their botanical name, family, habit, phenology and uses.

The genus Henckelia Spreng. (Gesneriaceae), in the sense of Weber et al. (2011), presently includes about 73 species, distributed from China and N India to S India and Sri Lanka and from W India to Vietnam. In India, it is represented by 37 species, of which 21 species occur in western, eastern Himalaya and northeast India, and 16 species in the Western Ghats.During the authors' work on the floristic diversity of the Eastern Himalayan state Arunachal Pradesh, India, specimens of two Henckelia species were collected in the Lower Subansiri and Kurung Kumey districts (Figure 1), that proved new on closer inspection. They are formally described here as new species. | MATERIAL AND METHODSSpecimens of the two new species of Henckelia were collected during plant collection trips to Arunachal Pradesh from 2017 to 2019. Type specimens were deposited at ARUN and ASSAM. For comparison, material was studied from ARUN, ASSAM, BM, CAL, E, G, K, L, MH, P and PE. The number of mature individuals found in the type locality was recorded for both species for assessment of the conservation status.
