Abstract

The genus Ochlandra Thw., with eight species endemic to Western Ghats of India and one to Sri Lanka, is poorly represented in the herbaria and is taxonomically inadequately understood. This paper is a preliminary revision of the genus and presents an artificial key to the species, complete description and illustrations of the species, based on recent collections in flowers and fruits by the author and consultation of authentic specimens.
