Abstract

Anaphalis munnarensis, a new taxon belonging to the family Asteraceae from montane grasslands of Meesapulimala of southern Western Ghats, Kerala, India, is described and illustrated. The new species exhibits some morphological affinities with its allied species Anaphalis meeboldii, but differs in many attributes. A description of the new species along with details on its distribution and ecology, illustration, colour photographs and comparisons with its allied taxa are provided.
