Abstract

Abstract : We recognize four species of Ledebouria Roth (Hyacinthaceae: Hyacinthoideae) from India, namely Ledebouria revoluta (L.f.) Jessop, Ledebouria viridis S. Dutta & P. Harvey ex M.R. Almeida, Ledebouria karnatakensis Punekar & Lakshmin. and Ledebouria hyderabadensis M.V. Ramana et al. The name Ledebouria junnarensis S.S. Rahangdale & S.R. Rahangdale is a later superfluous name for L. viridis . Lectotypes are designated for Ledebouria hyacinthina Roth & Bernardia indica Wight. Scilla hohenackeri Fischer & Mayer, earlier enumerated from India, is known from Pakistan and Central Asia, and is therefore, excluded from this work. We describe all four species, with their synonymy and updated nomenclature.
