Itanagar: A new species of trees named “Meiogyne Arunachalensis” was discovered by researchers during a biodiversity expedition to the “Adi hills of Arunachal Pradesh”.
Researcher Navendu Page, one of the members of the group, mentioned in the report that, “The genus Meiogyne is distributed throughout South and Southeast Asia and includes approximately 33 described taxa,” Page said.
The species shows morphological similarity with Meiogyne maxiflora, a species distributed in Thailand, but it differs in a number of vegetative and reproductive characteristics, Page said in the report.
The discovery of the tree species in Arunachal Pradesh is the first record of the genus from Northeast India and the eastern Himalayan biodiversity hotspot.
