Main Article Content
Abstract
The genus Ammannia L. (Lythraceae) in India is revised and a taxonomic synopsis is presented. In this study, nine species are recognized. Ammania nagpurensis T.Mathew and M.P.Nayar have been synonymized under A. multiflora. A key to the species, along with brief descriptions, phenology, habitat preference, distribution, and conservation status are provided. Additionally, detailed taxonomic and nomenclatural notes are presented to aid in species identification and to reconcile ambiguities in taxonomic treatments.
