最近接触一些了一些凤仙花科、苦苣苔科等类群，发现近些年国内以及印度学者发表了很多新类群，特别是从滇西南、藏东南地区与印度东北部。有不少种都是某一边发表新种，另一边之后发表新记录。最近有个新种的发表很有意思：

文章正文最后有一段：

This manuscript is an outcome of an unexpected collaborative work between two independent research groups from India (NSP, PS and VG) and China (DTL, SZD and LC). 69 years after Kingdon-Ward’s collection, the Indian group collected specimens in 2018 and the Chinese group in 2019. Coincidentally, both manuscripts were submitted for publication in the special issue of Rheedea on Gesneriaceae. Both the groups had described their respective new species using specific epithet that reflected the respective type localities (Saramati hills in India and Tengchong in China). Incidentally, the reviewers and the editor discovered the similarities in the two species and suggested for further study by the authors which has resulted in this collaborative work, and a collaborative description of D. sinoindicus. This study therefore illustrates the need for more collaborative floristic studies between India and China which will give us a better insight in our shared biodiversity, allow us to implement better conservation practices, and reduce taxonomic confusions.

同一个种同时投到同一期刊上去，这概率得有多低啊！

最后的结果是两边共同发表，共同第一作者，共同通讯作者，共同命名人。实属难得！

这就是2020年发表在Rheedea（印度一分类学刊物）的中印长蒴苣苔 Didymocarpus sinoindicus N.S.Prasanna, Lei Cai & V.Gowda
