Emblica chakrabartyi sp. nov. (Phyllanthaceae), a striking species from the southern Western Ghats, India

“…Bouman et al (2018) summarized most of the taxonomic work on Phyllanthus and they recognized 880 species, classified in 18 subgenera, 70 sections and 14 subsections. In their recent revised phylogenetic classification of the tribe Phyllantheae (Phyllanthaceae), Bouman et al (2022) split the paraphyletic genus Phyllanthus into ten monophyletic genera, which are all reinstatements of former genera, based on a phylogenetic framework in conjugation with morphological characters. However, the genus Emblica Gaertn.…”

“…is here re‐established without any further subdivision. It is sister to the clade that contains the genera Glochidion, Breynia and Synsostemon (Bouman et al 2022). They recognized 45 species of Emblica from all over the world but mainly in Australia, Mainland Asia, Malasia and one pantropical invasive E. urinaria .…”

“…Generalized distinguishing characters of the genus Emblica include phyllanthoid branching with distichous leaves, presence of ovate – triangular, membranous or indurate cataphyllary stipules, and an axillary inflorescence with unisexual or bisexual cymules, staminate flowers usually with six sepals, six free disc glands and three stamens with connate filaments and vertically dehiscing anthers, pollen that is prolate or spheroidal, 4‐ or 5‐ colporate or 5 – brevisulcate, absence of a pistillode, pistillate flowers with six sepals, entire disc, 3‐ locular ovary with bifid stigmas, fruits developed as capsules or drupe, and trigonous smooth seeds with or with transverse ridges (Bouman et al 2022).…”
