“…Singh (Taram et al, 2021). While working on the floristic diversity of Eastern Himalayan state Arunachal Pradesh, India (Borah et al 2019, 2020a, 2020b, 2020c, 2020d, 2020e, 2020f; Taram et al 2020a, 2020b, 2020c, 2021), the authors encountered an interesting species of Henckelia .

Herein, we present the first record of Henckelia longipedicellata (B.L.Burtt) D.J.Middleton & Mich.Möller (Gesneriaceae) for the flora of India based on specimens from Mayodia, Mishmi Hills, Lower Dibang Valley district of Arunachal Pradesh, India and its rediscovery after type collection. This species is easily recognized due to its solitary flowers with longer peduncles, deeply divided calyx lobes and ventrally pouched campanulate corolla. H. longipedicellata is so far known from Myanmar. A brief description along with additional notes and photographs are provided.
