Abstract

The taxonomic status of 3 species of the genus Limnophila viz., L. micrantha (Benth.) Benth., L. glandulifera Philcox and L. repens (Benth.) Benth. were examined. L. micrantha and L. glandulifera is found to be conspecific with L. repens. Hence, these 2 names are reduced here into the synonymy of the earlier name, L. repens (Benth.) Benth.
