Abstract
The recently described species Isachne bhatii P.Biju, Josekutty & Augustine is treated as conspecific to I. veldkampii K.G.Bhat & Nagendran. A detailed description, notes on habitat, distribution, conservation status, and photographs are provided. Although the species was previously considered Critically Endangered, the present study reveals a broader distribution than was previously documented.
