      I have updated eFI (efloraofindia) page on Launaea<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

      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\u2019s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links.<\/span><\/p>\n

      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.<\/span><\/p>\n

      If someone can provide complete list of Indian species with source references it will be wonderful.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Any comments\/ corrections are welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n

      I have added list of Launaea<\/em> species in India based on Karhikeyan 2009. <\/span><\/p>\n

      Thanks a lot, …. <\/span>I have made a little correction as <\/span>Launaea polyclada <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a>(Boiss.) Burkill<\/span><\/a> is an accepted name as per The Plant List version 1.1.\u00a0 I hope it’s OK. <\/span>We now have to follow <\/span>The Plant List version 1.1<\/span><\/a> as it has superseded the earlier The Plant List of 2010.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
