The diversity assessment and phylogeny of Indian Mayapple and chemical profiling of S. hexandrum subsp. ramgopalii D.Maity, J.Ghosh & Midday
Project summary:
In the Himalaya two subspecies of Himalayan Mayapple, viz. Sinopodophyllum hexandrum subsp. hexandrum and S. hexandrum subsp. ramgopalii D.Maity, J.Ghosh & Midday occur.
