Notes on Aconitum bulbilliferum and an allied species from Bhutan

Abstract

Bhutanese plants formerly referred to Aconitum bulbilliferum HAND.-MAZZ. are different from true A. bulbilliferum from Sichuna Prov., China. Aconitum bulbilliferum is re-described based upon detailed examinations of the type specimens. Lectotypification is made for another East Himalayan scandent species, A. elwesii STAPF. A key to the scandent species of East Himalaya is also given here.
