DC., Polycarpaea corymbosa (L.) Lam. and Heteropogon contortus (L.) Roem. &amp; Schult.</p> <p>Taxonomical notes. – Parasopubia hofmannii (Fig. 1A) differs from the one Indian species P. delphinifolia in its stouter habit with less branching, leaves with fewer segments (Fig. 2 B-C), shorter campanulate flowers (Fig. 2 D-E), obovate capsules with fruiting calyx tube reaching only up to the middle, and also by seeds with narrow testa cells and almost parallel and smooth walls, where secondary testa cells are absent or ill-developed (Fig. 2 F-G; Fig. 3 A-D). Being stouter, it is similar to the other Asian P. bonatii, but differs in having long-linear calyx lobes against the short and triangular calyx lobes in P. bonatii.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/D55587CDFFD62221E812FA1F45C9FDC4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The interpretation of the SEM images of seeds can also lend further support for the establishment of the new variety. In var. hofmannii, the testa cells are very narrow with smooth walls and without or ill-developed secondary ridges (Fig. 3 C-D). In var. albiflora, the testa cells are polygonal with slightly rugose walls and well developed secondary walls (Fig. 3 E-F).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/D55587CDFFD32221E801FD2040A2FB80	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
