我們陳述印度東喜馬拉雅的新紀錄東瀛四照花(Cornus kousa F. Buerger ex Hance
subsp. kousa)（山茱萸科）。這個新紀錄延伸了C. kousa 的地理分佈，自中國、大韓民國和日本擴大到印度東喜馬拉雅生物群落；由於這個報告，將其亞種subspeices kousa 的分佈從
日本和韓國擴大到印度。這物種於東喜馬拉雅的錫金Khangchendzonga 生物圈保護區
（27°06' – 28°05'N，88°02' – 88°47'E）被發現；這個發現修正了C. kousa 現今在世界上的分
佈。

We present a new record of the dogwood tree (Cornus kousa F. Buerger ex Hance subsp. kousa) (Cornaceae) from the Eastern Himalayas in India. This record extends the known geographical distribution of C. kousa from China, Republic of South Korea and Japan to Eastern Himalayas of the Indian biome. With this report, the distribution of the subspecies kousa is also extended from Japan and Korea to India. The species was discovered from Khangchendzonga Biosphere Reserve (27°06'-28°05'N,
88°02'-88°47'E) in the state of Sikkim in the Eastern Himalayas. This discovery modified the current distribution of C. kousa in
the world.
