Abstract

Pseudoyoungia simulatrix (Babc.) D. Maity & Maiti of Cichorieae-Asteraceae, which has been also treated as Youngia simulatrix (Babc.) Babc. & Stebb. or Tibetoseris simulatrix (Babc.) Sennikov since its description by Babcock as Crepis simulatrix Babc. from China, Nepal and India in 1928. In India this species is found only in Sikkim and has been rediscovered after a lapse of more than a century. Detailed description, photographs, notes on distribution and ecology, nomenclatural history are provided. Its threat status (as per IUCN) in India is proposed based on the field observation.
