HYBANTHUS VATSAVAYII (VIOLACEAE): A NEW SPECIES FROM ANDHRA PRADESH, INDIA by C. SUDHAKAR REDDY- J. Econ. Taxon. Bot 01/2001; 25:219-220. –
ABSTRACT : A new species of Hybanthus Jacq. (Violaceae), namely, H. vatsavayii Ch. S. Reddy is described from Andhra Pradesh, India.
INTRODUCTION :The genus Hybanthus Jacq. is distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, Australia and America with about 150 species. Grey-Wilson (1981) discussed the identity of different taxa of Hybanthus occuring in Trop. Africa. Two species of Hybanthus are found in India, viz. H. enneaspermus (L.) F. Muell. and H. travancoricus (Beddome) Melchior. Hybanthus enneaspermus is variable species and occurs as a common weed throughout India. H. travancoricus is endemic to southern Western Ghats of Kerala and Tamil Nadu (Banerjee & Pramanik 1993). In course of botanical exploration of elangana region of Andhra Pradesh, India, some interesting specimens of Hybanthus Jacq. (Violaceae) were collected from rocky terrains. After critical examination and perusal of literature, these specimens were determined as belong to a distinct new taxon, which is being described here. .

I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Hybanthus (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.
