“…The members of family Commelinaceae are monocot plants comprising 41 genera and about 731 species (Christenhusz and Byng 2016) that are widely distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world (Cronquist 1981). The centers of Commelinaceae diversity are peninsular India and the Himalayan foothills from Thailand to southwestern China (Faden 1998, Nandikar andGurav 2019). About 41 genera and 640 species are distributed mostly in the tropical and warm temperate regions worldwide (Faden 2000, Nandikar andGurav 2019).…”

Cytological studies of five genera, six species of Commelinaceae from Thailand revealed the following karyotypes: Amischotolype mollissima, 2n=36 (2m+16sm+18st); Callisia fragrans, 2n=12 (6m+6st); Commelina benghalensis, 2n=22 (12m+6sm+4st); Co. diffusa 2n=48 (26m+22sm); Murdannia loriformis 2n=20 (8m+12sm); and Tradescantia spathacea 2n=12 (4m+4sm+4st). The satellites appeared in the karyotype of Co. benghalensis and M. loriformis. The karyotype formula, fundamental number (NF), and total chromosome length of A. mollissima, M. loriformis, and T. spathacea were studied for the first time.

The present article accounts for a previously overlooked, new species of Commelina from Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. The new species, here described as Commelina littoralis can be distinguished e.g. by its white antherodes, and appendaged seeds. It is compared with the similar, cosmopolitan species C. diffusa and C. caroliniana and provided with a description, illustration, photographs and distribution.

“…Systematic explorations of Commelinaceae are scarce in India (Hooker 1875, 1892, Beddome 1880, Clarke 1881, Kumar and Deodikar 1941, Barnes 1946, Karthikeyan et al 1989, Rao 1997). In the recent past various taxonomic studies on Indian Commelinaceae have led to discovery of new species (Nandikar 2021, Nandikar and Gurav 2021). These will bridge the gap with much needed information for an update of the account of Indian Commelinaceae.…”

Commelinabadamica var. palkondensis P. Sivaramakrishna, P. Yugandhar and L.J. Singh, var. nov. (Commelinaceae), a remarkable new variety from Palkonda hills of Eastern Ghats of Peninsular Indiais described and illustrated. It is apparently similar to C. badamica var. badamica in habitat ecology and general morphology, but differs in features like presence of a 2–3‐nerved ligule, lower cincinnus with single bisexual flower, glabrous ovary, elliptic anthers and ovoid‐oblong or trapezoidal seeds. In addition to the description, habitat ecology, details on population distribution and the conservation status are also provided for the new variety.
