A checklist of the grasses of India is presented, as compiled from survey of all available literature. Of the twelve subfamilies of grasses, ten are represented in India. Most subfamilies have been examined by taxonomic experts for up-to-date nomenclature. The list includes 1506 species plus infraspecific taxa and presents information on types, synonyms, distribution within India, and habit. Twelve new combinations are made, viz. Arctopoa tibetica (Munro ex Stapf) Prob. var. aristulata (Stapf) E.A. Kellogg, comb. nov.; Chimonocalamus nagalandianus (H.B. Naithani) L.G. Clark, comb. nov.; Chionachne digitata (L.f.) E.A.

The Tribe Wisterieae (Zhu 1994), founded on the single genus Wisteria, is emended and recircumscribed based on morphology and data from nuclear ITS and ndhJ-trnF, matK and rbcL chloroplast DNA sequences. This newly enlarged tribe comprises 36 species and 9 infraspecific taxa within 13 described genera. Six genera are new, two are reinstated and five were previously placed in Tribe Millettieae. The genus Adinobotrys is also reinstated comprising two species including the new combination A.vastus. Other reinstated genera include Whitfordiodendron, with four species, and Padbruggea, with three species, including the reinstatement of P.filipes and the new combination P.filipesvar.tomentosa. The existing genera Afgekia, Callerya, Endosamara (with the new combination E.racemosavar.pallida), Sarcodum and Wisteria, with the new combinations W.frutescenssubsp.macrostachya are evaluated. The new genera comprise three Australasian species in Austrocallerya: A.australis, A.megasperma and A.pilipes; Wisteriopsis with five species from east Asia has six new combinations: W.japonica, W.kiangsiensis, W.championii, W.eurybotrya, W.reticulata and W.reticulatavar.stenophylla. Two species comprise the new Thai genus Kanburia: K.tenasserimensis and K.chlorantha. Nanhaia comprises the two species: N.fordii and N.speciosa and the monotypic genera Sigmoidala and Serawaia are based respectively on the species S.kityana and S.strobilifera. Lectotypes are designated for the names Adinobotrysfilipes, A.myrianthus, Millettiabonatiana, Millettiabracteosa, Millettiachampionii, Millettiacinerea, Millettiadielsiana, Millettiakityana, M.maingayi, Millettianitida, Millettiaoocarpa, Millettiapurpurea, M.reticulata, M.reticulatavar.stenophylla, Padbruggeadasyphylla, Pterocarpusaustralis, Robiniaracemosa, Whitfordiodendronscandens, W.sumatranum and Wisteriapallida. A neotype is designated for the name Millettialeiogyna.

Name Changes

Alterations for the year 1986 to the inventory maintained in PRECIS are reported for bryophytes, pteridophytes and monocotyledons, and for a few dicotyledons. For the cryptogams and monocots there are 77 newly described species or infraspecific taxa, 27 names brought back into use, and nine species newly reported for southern Africa, resulting in 113 additions to the total list of species. Five species were removed because they were mistakenly recorded from the area. Seventy-five names have gone into synonymy, there are 52 new combinations, and there are 35 orthographic corrections, resulting in 237 alterations to the list of species. The total of 355 additions, deletions and alterations represents about 5% of the total species and infraspecific taxa for the cryptogams and monocots.

Hylodesmum H. Ohashi & R.R. Mill (Leguminosae or Fabaceae, tribe Desmodieae), based on Desmodium sect. Podocarpium Benth. (=D. subgen. Podocarpium (Benth.) H. Ohashi), is a replacement name proposed here for Podocarpium (Benth.) Y.C. Yang & P.H. Huang published in 1979 for Chinese species belonging to the genus. The name it replaces, Podocarpium (Benth.) Y.C. Yang & P.H. Huang, is a later homonym of two earlier names, Podocarpium A. Braun ex Stizenb. (fossil Leguminosae or Fabaceae) and Podocarpium Unger (fossil Podocarpaceae) and it is also inadmissible under Art. 20.2. New combinations in Hylodesmum are proposed for 14 species and nine infraspecific taxa. A description of the genus is given as well as brief notes on the distribution of each taxon. Shuteria longipes Franch. and Desmodium duclouxii Pamp. are newly regarded as conspecific; the correct name for these in Hylodesmum is H. longipes. Notes on typification are given for several names.

Generic Relationships

The taxonomy of Zieria Sm. is reassessed and a revised classification is presented. The history of taxonomic discrimination in Zieria is summarised and its cytology, phytochemistry and biology reviewed; the generic relationships and phylogeny are assessed. The monophyly of the genus is discussed and its recognised taxa assigned to six taxon groups. Of the 73 previously published names, 20 names are re-instated and four new combinations established; 20 new species1 and eight new subspecies are described, bringing the total for the genus to 51 taxa (i.e. 42 species and nine infraspecific taxa). Lectotypes and neotypes are chosen where necessary, for a number of earlier names. Keys to all taxa, distribution maps, illustrations of most taxa and electron micrographs of a range of morphological features are provided. Taxa described as new are as follows: Z. arborescens Sims subsp. decurrens J.A.Armstrong, Z. arborescens Sims subsp. glabrifolia J.A.Armstrong, Z. aspalathoides A.Cunn. ex Benth. subsp. brachyphylla J.A.Armstrong, Z.�baeuerlenii J.A.Armstrong, Z.buxijugum J.D.Briggs & J.A.Armstrong, Z. caducibracteata J.A.Armstrong, Z. citriodora J.A.Armstrong, Z. covenyi J.A.Armstrong, Z. floydii J.A.Armstrong, Z. formosa J.D.Briggs & J.A.Armstrong, Z. furfuracea R.Br. ex Benth. subsp. euthadenia J.A.Armstrong, Z. furfuracea R.Br. ex Benth. subsp. gymnocarpa J.A.Armstrong, Z. hindii J.A.Armstrong, Z. ingramii J.A.Armstrong, Z. lasiocaulis J.A.Armstrong, Z. littoralis J.A.Armstrong, Z. minutiflora Domin subsp. trichocarpa J.A.Armstrong, Z. montana J.A.Armstrong, Z. odorifera J.A.Armstrong, Z. oreocena J.A.Armstrong, Z. parrisiae J.D.Briggs & J.A.Armstrong, Z. prostrata J.A.Armstrong, Z. robertsiorum J.A.Armstrong, Z. smithii G.Jackson subsp. tomentosa J.A.Armstrong, Z. southwellii J.A.Armstrong, Z. tuberculata J.A.Armstrong, Z.�veronicea (F.Muell.) Benth. subsp. insularis J.A.Armstrong and Z. verrucosa J.A.Armstrong. The following new combinations are made: Z. adenodonta (F.Muell.) J.A.Armstrong, Z. fraseri Hook. subsp. compacta (C.T.White) J.A.Armstrong and Z. obovata (C.T.White) J.A.Armstrong.

The pantropical genus Schefflera J. R. Forst. & G. Forst. (Araliaceae) was recently found to be polyphyletic, making it necessary to restrict the generic name to a small clade in the southwest Pacific and to transfer the members of the four remaining clades to other genera. Recent studies of the Neotropical clade have shown that it comprises five morphologically and geographically coherent subclades, each of which is being recognized as a separate genus. In the present synopsis, Crepinella Marchal is resurrected to include the 33 currently recognized species and four infraspecific taxa belonging to one of these subclades, necessitating 36 new combinations (32 species, two subspecies, and two varieties); two names are also lectotypified. Members of Crepinella can be recognized by their leaves with coriaceous leaflets and small stipular ligules, compoundumbellate inflorescences, and 2- to 5-carpellate ovaries, coupled with a distribution that is largely restricted to montane vegetation on the sandstone tepuis of the Guiana Shield, with just three species occurring on sandstone substrates elsewhere in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
