Dear Aarti,
I have just sent an image (not in close-up) of the Bergenia been cultivated at
Nehru Botanical Garden toMr Garg, so will be posted shortly.
The specimens were correctly identified but the nomenclature has changed. The
plants are now knownas Bergenia pacumbis (Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don) C.Y.Wu & J.T.Pan.
It was previously known as Bergenia ciliata forma ligulata and B.himalaica.
Bergenia ciliata is not given as a separate species in Flora of China.
According to 'Saxifragaceae' (Flora of Pakistan) the formas of B.ciliata are
distinguishedon the basis of the hirsute leaves of forma cilata, though upper
surface is sometimes glabrous.
There clearly has been confusion in the past and I wonder about past records
and the distribution ofboth taxa.
Best Wishes,
Chris Chadwell
