Abstract

Flemingia involuctrata is reported as a new record for Andhra Pradesh. It is distinct from the other species of Flemingia in shortly-petiolate, digitately trifoliolate leaves, terminal and axillary capitatula densely covered with large, persistent and scarious bracts, and 1-seeded pods. The species is of phytogeography interest because of its discontinuous distribution. Sparse distribution nd inhabitation in grassland biome make the species vulnerable. Locally, its survival is threatened due to grazing by cattle.
