Abstract

Calopogonium mucunoides Desv. (Fabaceae), alien to the Indian flora, was discovered from two locations of the east coastal plains of agro-ecological zone of Odisha state. After critical review of published literature on the distribution, its natural occurrence in Odisha was found to be a new record for the eastern and central India. The present report deals with its taxonomic description, ecology and potentiality of the species for further economic utilization.
