Abstract:
A new variety of species Abutilon pannosum var. balochistanicum F. Naseer et al. is recorded and identified from Pakistan for the first time. The description of the newly recorded taxa with complete diagnostic characters and illustrated diagrams has been presented. Micro-morphological characteristics of mericarp and seeds have been done with the help of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A. pannosum var. balochistanicum is showing unique features in its most of the important qualitative characteristics. Surface of fruit and seeds surface pattern is the key characteristic which shows resemblance with rest of identified specimens of A. pannosum.
