Abstract

Zygophyllum coccineum L. (Zygophyllaceae) is reported for the first time in India from Kachchh, Gujarat. A detailed morphological description of the plant species, its habitat preferences, distribution, a photographic plate, and the main morphological differences with its closely related species, Z. simplex, occurring in India are provided to validate this new distribution record to the Flora of India and facilitate its field identification.
