Studies on the Cytology and Phylogeny of South Indian Grasses

“…Hubbard (1934) however included it as a separate tribe, Thysonolaeneae in the subfamily Pooideae. Blatter and Mc Cann (1935) placed this genus along with Arundo and Phragmites in the tribe Arundineae. The present study has shown that the basic chromosome number of this genus is also 12 as in the Arundineae.…”

Nervilia pangteyana sp. nov., a terrestrial orchid from western Himalaya, India

“…Nervilia pangteyana is similar to Nervilia infundibulifolia Blatter & McCann. The illustration of Nervilia infundibulifolia provided by Blatter and McCann (1932) shows thin hairs on the corm, but these appears to be superfluously added. They state that hairs are present on the column on the half below the stigma, whereas Pearce and Cribb (2002) state that hairs occur on the lower half, and Deva and Naithani (1986) claim the column to be glabrous.…”

“…They state that hairs are present on the column on the half below the stigma, whereas Pearce and Cribb (2002) state that hairs occur on the lower half, and Deva and Naithani (1986) claim the column to be glabrous. Blatter and McCann (1932) illustrated the leaves with dark patches that are more or less triangular with sides converging towards the apex, whereas the description states that it's thickened in the middle. Blatter and McCann (1932) and Pearce and Cribb (2002) describe the plant as having 2 internodes, whereas N. pangteyana has at least 5 distinct internodes.…”
