An important document for names, authority and distribution of Asteraceae (=Compositae) species in India is FLOWERING PLANTS OF As per this document (Karthikeyan et al., 2009) following species of Echinops occur in India:
1- Echinops cornigerus DC. (Central to Northwest Himalaya)
2- E. echinatus Roxb. (Throughout India and Himalaya) 3- E. niveus Wall. ex Royle (Western Himalaya)
4- E. prionolepis Bornm. & Mattf. (Northwest Himalaya)
No Echinops seems threatened in India as no species is mentioned in Red Data Book of Indian Plants by Nayar and Sastry (1987-90).
