Zeylanidium manasiae, a new species of Podostemaceae based on molecular and morphological data from Kerala, India

Abstract

We present the description of Zeylanidiummanasiae (Podostemaceae), a new species from Kerala, India, which is proposed based on molecular, macro- and micromorphological data. This species is characterised by its ribbon-like dichotomous thallus, floriferous shoots produced along the margins and dichotomy of the thallus, inflorescence with two bracts, unequal stigmatic lobes, ellipsoid fruits and large seeds.

“…The Podostemaceae show an amazing diversity of root types. They vary from thread-like to ribbon-like and further to crustose ( Mathew and Satheesh 1997 ; Jäger-Zürn 2000 ; Koi et al 2019 ; Krishnan et al 2019 ).…”
