Pavonia (Malvaceae) : 2 posts by 1 author.

I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Pavonia (Pl. click).

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 updated complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful.

Any comments/ corrections are welcome.
Thank you for your nice review and documentation ...

Pl. go through Pavonia (‎‎‎Malvaceae) page with images of species in efloraofindia.

If you find any incorrect identification, pl. let us know. If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), if any, or can identify unidentified images, it will be really nice.


As per Catalogue of life(2017) Pavonia burchellii (DC.) R.A.Dyer, Bull. Misc. Inform. Kew 1932: is not an Indian species; the specimen in the efi site is Pavonia procumbens only as per Catalogue of life; the reference you have cited dates back 1996; why not it be reconsidered. 
Thanks, ... 
I have based my decision based on Monograph of South Indian species made in 1996, a highly appreciable document. As Catalogue of Life does not give any references, we have to dig in further, if we have to change the decision in the matter. 
Under the species page of Pavonia on th efi website, there seems to be two species clubbed under the name Pavonia burchelli. The one with white corolla and purple throat is likely to be a different species. Perhaps a species of Hibiscus?
Also the names P. burchellii and P. procumbens seem to be synonyms according to Shashidharan's Flowering Plants of Kerala
Thanks, ...
