Abstract

Lepironia articulata (Retz.) Domin, a sedge known to occur in India only by its reported type collection from the vicinity of Tranquebar (Tharangampadi in Tamil Nadu), was found growing in the coastal belt of Alappuzha District in Kerala. The present collection forms the second record for the species in India and marks the addition of genus Lepironia to the flora of Kerala. A detailed description, with relevant notes, illustration and photographs are provided.
