Abstract

Lepidopilidium furcatum, so far known only from the Western Ghats in Peninsular India for the country, finds a place only in checklists or enumerations without descriptions in Indian literature. Hence, fertile material recently collected from Agasthyamalai Biosphere Reserve in the Southernmost Western Ghats is described in detail and illustrated.

Keywords

Lepidopilidium furcatum, Agasthyamalai Biosphere Reserve, Fertile Material.
