Contributor Text: YASIN J. NASIR

Flower/Fruit: Fl. Per.: March-April.

Type: Type: Afghanistan, Herat, Jija, 900 m, Koeie 4404 (W).

Distribution: Distribution: Afghanistan, Pakistan.

Comment/Acknowledgements: Mature fruiting material is desirable for proper identification, but I do not think that Paracaryum platycalyx is sufficently distinct from Paracaryum rugulosum to warrant specific status. The following gatherings from Baluchistan approach the type variety: Ali 24; Dick-Peddle 313; R.R. Stewart 764; 28308; 28288; M. Yahya 26, J. Lamond 1093.
