‎Gomphrena (Amaranthaceae) :  5 posts by 2 authors.

I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on ‎Gomphrena (Pl. click this link in blue colour to see the details).

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 Indian species based on Karthikeyan et al. 2009.

Thanks a lot, …, As per ITIS & The Plant List, Gomphrena dispersa Standl. is a synonym of Gomphrena serrata L.
However, I could not find much details of G. ciliata Raf. Pl. give synonyms given by the authors if possible. 

Gomphrena ciliata is an introduced species (as mentioned by authors) and no synonyms were given. It is an unresolved species in TPL 2013.

 

Pl. go through Gomphrena (Amaranthaceae) 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.
