I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Justicia Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible.

Sorting Justicia species at efloraofindia : 1 post by 1 author. Justicia has proved to be a troublesome genus as can be seen in numerous postings during Acanthaceae fortnight. After going through details etc. available on net & compiling at Justicia, I feel all the members should go through the keys here & correctly identify their species & post them on efi for benefit of all the members. Some links which may be useful are as below: For North: For East & North East: FLOWERING PLANTS OF INDIA, DICOTYLEDONS, Vol-I (Acanthaceae-Avicenniaceae) authored by S. Karthikeyan, M.

I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Rungia Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links. Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the page in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details. If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful. Any comments/ corrections are welcome. I have added list of Rungia species in India based on the reference (Karthikeyan et al. 2009). Thanks a lot, ... None of the sources given at Rungia treats R. parviflora (Retz.) Nees as a synonym of R. pectinata (L.) Nees as give by The Plant List ver. 1.1 (The record derives from WCSP (in review) (data supplied on 2012-03-23) which reports it as a synonym) . Further it has been stated to have been derived from WCSP (in review), which is still under review. In view we have to treat R. parviflora (Retz.) Nees & R. pectinata (L.) Nees (syn. Rungia parviflora var. pectinata (L.) C.B. Clarke) as different species. I have corrected accordingly. Udated efi as per New Names and Combinations in Indian Acanthaceae John R. I. Wood (2014) : 1 post by 1 author. I have updated the accepted names on efi as per New Names and Combinations in Indian Acanthaceae John R. I. Wood (2014). However, more still needs to done. If any of the members come across any such papers, pl. send me a copy so that I can do the needful. I have added the list of Justicia species in India based on few important references and eFI page. Thanks a lot, ... Pl. also analyse the following: From efi: Justicia candicans Justicia colorifera (Cultivated) Justicia fulvicoma (Cultivated) Justicia plumbaginifolia & Justicia madurensis BURM.F. (FRLHT) I have added these species. J.candicans is a cultivated species. J.colorifera is now J.tinctoriella Bennet & Raizada and a cultivated species. J.fulvicoma is cultivated sepecies. J.plumbaginifolia is unresolved sp and not mentioned in Karthikeyan et al 2009. J.madurensis is a synonym of Dyschoriste madurensis (Burm.f.) Kuntze as mentioned in Karthikeyan et al 2009. Justicia page with images of species in efloraofindia : 1 post by 1 author. Pl. go through Justicia page with images of species (done by me) in efloraofindia. If you find any mis-identification, pl. let us know. If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), if any, it will be really nice. Also, if anybody is interested to take up the activity of inserting images on efloraofindia pages from efloraofindia posts, pl. let us know.I request you to with the help of eflora India kindly clarify these species. There is very confusion over photographic identification of these species. Rostellularia crinita NeesRungia pectinata (L.) Nees Rungia repens (L.) Nees Justicia procumbens L. Rostellularia procumbens (L.) Nees Justicia diffusa Willd. Rostellularia diffusa Thanks, ..., You can check efi site pages in this matter. We have tried to deal with them in details at each page. |
