Abstract
Since much confusion exists on the identity and nomenclature in certain polygalas, a taxonomic revision of the genusPolygala L. of Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Tamil Nadu has been attempted, based on the observations in the field and critical studies on the specimens represented in various herbaria. Illustrations of some important characters for each species have been provided for easy comparison and identification.
