Abstract

Cremanthodium dibangii Vik. Kumar & Rahul Kumar (Asteraceae, Senecioneae) is described and illustrated as a new species from Dibang Valley District in Arunachal Pradesh, India. It morphologically resembles C. reniforme, but differs from it by several characters of leaves, involucres, and ray laminae, as well as the style length of ray florets, etc. We additionally report C. oblanciligulatum for the first time from India, collected from Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh. It is a threatened species and until now was only known from China. An identification key to Indian species of Cremanthodium sect. Cremanthodium is provided.
