Abstract

Five new species belonging toBulbostylis, Eleocharis, Fimbristylis, Fuirena andScleria respectively have been proposed to immortalize late Prof. Dr Swamy for his valuable botanical and nonbotanical contributions. The vegetative anatomy of these new species has also been studied which shows an overall agreement with the general anatomical characters of each one of the genera besides the occurrence of a few characters specific for each species.
