There have been lot of taxonomic realignments of Indian taxa. I have compiled the list of Indian taxa with synonyms and Principal distribution<\/u><\/div>\n
I have also tried to construct a key relating to Indian taxa. The same is given below and also uploaded in our website. Interested members may go through this information and help in fixing the unidentified plants.<\/div>\n

\n
Before we fix the names of plants in our database perhaps an important decision is needed. In Flora of China (published 2003) and The Plant List the species under Pouzolzia<\/i> are split under two genera<\/div>\n
Gonostegia:<\/b> Leaf blade 3-veined from base; Male buds truncate, perianth with annular, often villous, crown formed from <\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
transverse crests of lobes.<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
Pouzolzia:<\/b> Leaf blade with at least 2 major lateral veins arising clearly above base; <\/span>Male flowers without this combination of characters<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
This won’t make any change in the key except that names of taxa will have to be changed.<\/div>\n
The important question is do we treat them under single genus (as Old world revision in Nordic Journal of Botany, 2006 is more recent) or treat them as two distinct genera following Flora of China and The Plant List.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
Is there any supporting literature for the classification in which species of Pouzolzia <\/i>are kept under two genus?<\/p>\n
If not, the recent classification based on Noradic Journal of Botany would be ideal, I think. <\/p>\n
