A tropical and subtropical genus, comprised of about 45 species. Dimeria R. Br. has been known to have 28 species in India of which 15 species occur in Kerala (Sreekumar Et Nair, 1991). This genus of remarkably uniform morphology, is mostly montane. Presented in this paper are two new species, D. sreenarayanii and D. iddukkiensis. Besides, an amended description of D. kurunthotica/ana Jacob, a highly variable species now known only from the type collection at MH, also is presented here based on extensive collections in Kerala.
