Supplementary descriptions of inflorescence and achene of two species of Elatostema (Urticaceae) from China

We demonstrate the high value of the inflorescence and achene for taxon delimitation in Elatostema. Over half of the descriptions of the ca 280 species described from China, however, lack information on inflorescence and/or achene morphology and this hampers the progress of species discovery and inf...
