Acronema and related genera in the Sino-Himalaya

Introduction
Acronema, Sinocarum, Pimpinella and Tongoloa form a complex in the Sino-Himalaya where the generic boundaries are unclear. Gross morphology does not clearly separte these genera and the current studies are aimed at looking at anatomy and micromorphology of the fruits for extra characters. Further research will be undertaken using molecular sequencing methods (probably ITS).
