Cyperaceae: XVIII. A new section and a species inFimbristylis (L.) Vahl and its vegetative anatomy

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

A few collections made from hill stations of Tamil Nadu are not only found to be without a name but preclude the possibility of placing this under any one of the existing sections ofFimbristylis. Therefore this situation has necessitated the creation of a new sectionIndofimbristylis in order to accommodate the new species. The anatomical data of this novelty shows an agreement with that of the genus as a whole.
