Abstract

Lindernia dubia is reported for the first time from India. Its description, illustration, distribution and habitat notes are provided. The taxonomic identity of Lindernia nelliyampathiensis, a recently described new species from India is discussed. Since it is closely matching with L. dubia, here we synonymize L. nelliyampathiensis under L. dubia.
