Appendix. Subject index. "The last great work on the taxonomy of the family Rosaceae Juss, sensu lato in the Indian region, was that of J.D. Hooker (1878). Wolfs (1908) monograph of the genus Potentilla L. comprising then 305 species in the world flora, did not include India, nor did the publications of J. Sojak of Czeckoslovakia, who meticulously studied the genus Potentilla over the last four decades and more. In this context, revisionary studies on as many as 24 of the 37 genera of the family within the political boundaries of India of today, published in four volumes, by G. Panigrahi and his Research Scholars, are of great significance and will of interest to all those interested in the flora of India and of the family Rosaceae in particular (see Robertson, 1991; Kalkman, 1993, 1996; Vaughan, 1993; Schmid 1993, 1997 and Sojak, 1997. Kalkman (1995) commends these studies as "thorough piece (s) of research" and which would "serve as model for regional revisionary" researches, both in India and abroad.

I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Potentilla (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 complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful. Any comments/ corrections are welcome. |
