“…Presently, India is home to a total of 123 species. In central India, particularly in Madhya Pradesh, the genus is represented by 38 taxa (Singh et al 2001, Mujaffar et al 2017, 2019. Fimbristylis is distinguishable by its characteristic features, including the usual presence of leaf blades, leaf sheaths without long silk hairs at the apex, and achenes with a deciduous style base (Koyama 1974, Prasad and Singh 2002, Zhang et al 2010, Patil and Prasad 2016.…”

A new species, Fimbristylis pachmarhiensis (Cyperaceae), is described and illustrated from Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve of Hoshangabad district, Madhya Pradesh, India. This new species bears resemblance to its closest morphological relatives, F. aestivalis and F. griffithii, but differs from both by a combination of characters, primarily including its slender culm, exceptionally lax inflorescence, cylindrical spikelets, triquetrous structure, and the presence of fine hairs covering the entire length of the style. Additionally, the achenes of this species exhibit sparse tuberculation and have a depressed apex. A detailed description, phenology, distribution, IUCN conservation status, a comparative analysis contrasting F. pachmarhiensis with its closely related species, relevant taxonomic notes and colour photographs are provided.
