Abstract

Heterocarpy in Justicia glauca Rottier is reported for the first time. The types of capsules, their position and regularity in the spike, and the types of seeds produced are detailed and compared with that of J. heterocarpa. Its taxonomic significance/insignificance, with a full description and illustration, is discussed.
