The Genus Torenia Linn. in Western Peninsular India
Abstract
The paper presents a taxonomic study of the seven species of Torenia native to the wet, western part of peninsular India. T. asiatica L. has often been included among these. But it is actually a plant from S. E. Asia and not native to this region. The plant usually called T. cordifolia is different from T. cordifolia Roxb. and has been described as T. indica sp. nov. Another plant, often confused with Lindernia crustacea (L.) F. V. Muell., has been described as T. lindernioides sp. nov. The paper also includes two new records for the region, T. violacea (Azaolo ex Blanco) Pennell and T. thouarsii (Cham. & Schlechtend.) O. Kuntze.Downloads
