Spigelia L. (Spigeliaceae/Strychnaceae): Addition of a Genus to the Flora of Karnataka
Abstract
Abstract
While working for the Flora of Kumta taluk in Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka, an interesting herb, Spigelia anthelmia L. was collected. Review of literature revealed that the Genus has not been included so far by any other workers and hence is the new introduction to Flora of Karnataka. Present paper deals with its description, a note on its taxonomic status, distributional tracks in India, its ecology and the hitherto recorded ethno medicinal uses of the plant.
Keywords: Spigelia, New report, Karnataka, Flora, Uttara Kannada, Kumta
