The family of grasses (Poaceae) is one the most diverse plant families, with tribe Stipeae representing an ecologically significant group more than 600 species primarily distributed in arid and semi-arid regions. genus Neotrinia , a lesser-known member this tribe, characterised by unique morphological traits, including distinctive patterns lemma epidermis. During field studies upper Kurram Valley, Pakistan, we found new species, kurramica which described here. This perennial grass exhibits...

A new species, Semenovia zhobica, is described from Zhob and Musakhail districts of Northern Balochistan, Pakistan, based on morphological molecular studies. The species an intricately branched, robust plant characterized by very long tripinnate leaves with subulate, bifid or trifid segments, umbels in panicles, indumentum soft white hairs to densely wooly, mericarps finely puberulous both surfaces. detailed description, illustrations, ecology, ethnobotany, phylogenetic analyses sequences...

Interesting species with characteristic features of the section Aegacantha were collected from Pakistan, one new and record are described reported. Astragalus saifullahaicus sp. nov. is close to A. hostilis, but differs latter by longer internodes, broadly- triangular stipules, elliptic obovate leaflets cuneate base, obtuse apex, often mucronate, racemes 2-flowered legumes oblong elliptic, densely covered appressed hairs a slightly curved, 3–5.5 mm long beak.

The present biogeographic distribution of tiger beetle fauna is an attempt to register all modern taxa from Pakistan. It includes 55 under 14 genera and 11 subgenera. Three species, Cylindera (Eriodera) albopunctata (Chaudoir1852), Cicindela viridilabris (Chaudoir 1852) Neocollyris (Neocollyris) redtenbacheri (Horn 1894) are recorded Pakistan for the first time.

Two new pathogens, Guignardia korthalsellae and Rosenscheldiella korthalsellae, are described from New Zealand's pygmy mistletoes (Korthalsella, Viscaceae). Both form ascomata on living phylloclades with minimal disruption of the tissue. Fungal hyphae within phylloclade primarily intercellular. disrupts a limited number epidermal cells immediately around erumpent ascoma, while Rosenscheldiellakorthalsellae develop externally small patches stromatic tissue that above stomatal cavities. is...

Astragalus L. sect. Aegacantha Bunge includes 57 described species, mostly confined to Southwest Asia and Central Asia. We studied the pollen morphology of 17 species this section present in Pakistan. Pollen is poorly investigated despite its systematic importance. The main aim study determine document characters that can assist taxonomic identification difficult section. slides were prepared following acetolysis examined by both light scanning electron microscopy. size varies, with polar...

The scale insect fauna recorded on the pigmy mistletoe genus Korthalsella (Viscaceae) and New Zealand’s loranthaceous mistletoes is reviewed. Three new species from Zealand discovered during this study are described: adult female, 2nd-instar male female nymphs of two pupillarial Leucaspis albotecta sp. nov. trilobata (Diaspididae); 1st-instar nymph Eriococcus korthalsellae (Eriococcidae). A distribution map provided for three species. We report first records adventive (exotic) insects in –...

During an exploration of Gadoon area in district Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa a specimen Anisochilus carnosus (L. f.) Wall. ex Benth. was collected which represents new plant record for Pakistan. Its description and illustrations are provided easy identification.

This study represents the first complete modern account of Sphingidae Pakistan and takes form an annotated checklist, based on several national collections those a number individuals. Of 60 species subspecies found, 14 are new records to fauna Pakistan, namely Agnosia orneus, Langia zenzeroides subsp. zenzeroides, Polyptychus trilineatus trilineatus, Dolbina inexacta, Ambulyx sericeipennis sericeipennis, Thamnoecha uniformis, Macroglossum belis, stellatarum, Cechetra scotti, Hippotion...

The distribution of parasitic plants is governed by the availability and suitable host species. Here we report distributions, associations genetic variability three endemic New Zealand species Korthalsella (Viscaceae) mistletoes. These differ in their primary breadth secondary tertiary hosts. salicornioides most host-specific, with 96% total records from (Leptospermum scoparium s.l. [Myrtaceae]) (Kunzea robusta hosts, but 26 taxa (six genera five families) recorded overall. clavata K....

A new species, Allium sulaimanicum, is described from northern Balochistan and southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan based on morphological, molecular, cytological studies. The species characterised by long runner-like cylindrical rhizomes of adult plants, bulbs, linear leaves with minute soft hairs along veins, campanulate perigonium, white to creamy white, ovate elliptical, 4.5-5-mm-long acute tepals, brownish purplish nerves, stamens as slightly longer than yellow brick red anthers,...
