Summary

Totally 20 species ofPericonia have been studied, of whichP. ellisii, P. hyderabadensis, P. indica, P. masonii, P. pseudohispidula, P. scrobiculata, P. simplex, P. stilbacearum, P. torulosa, P. warticulata, andP. yadagirensis are new, remaining reported for the first time from these parts. The discussion includes comments on the distribution, nature of colonies, fertility of stipes, their arrangement in colonies and its application in taxonomy. Variation in sporoderm is treated.P. parasitica Tilak,P. ipomoeae &P. xanthicola Vasant Rao are treated conspecific withP. byssoides Pers. exSchweinitz, pending the establishment of their parasitism. An improvised and comprehensive key for 28 species ofPericonia known so far from India is proposed.
