Material and Methods
Based on the field data gathered between 2018 and 2022 from natural populations on the river’s sandy banks close to Jammu, the herbarium sheets were prepared using prescribed methods (Jain and Rao 1977; Bridson and Gorman 1999). The Indian Institute of Integrative Medicines (IIIM) Janaki Ammal Herbarium has the voucher specimens of the new species with the abbreviation RRLH indexed in Thiers 2018. Different herbaria’s closely related species were consulted, including the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (K), the Plants of the World Online with nos. K000695495, and K000695496, Natural History Museum Viena(W0054043), and the Harbier Museum Paris (P00834467). The herbarium and live specimens were used in part for the study of plant morphology. With the aid of a blade, the mericarp sections were generated for stereographic examination. For a description and a glossary of terms for the new species, Vogel (1980), Hickey 1973, Harris and Harris (2001) were consulted. All measurements were taken from the fresh and dried material.
