Strobilanthes is a genus of perennial flowering shrubs with about 400 species. Due to the infrequent flowering period and monocarpic nature the availability of reproductive parts -the primary requisites for species identification -is comparatively a rare chance. Hence, other methods, such as molecular techniques, are vital to differentiate Strobilanthes species in the vegetative stages. The establishment of DNA barcode database is a suitable method. The DNA barcode region ITS nuclear ribosomal DNA of Strobilanthes andersonii Bedd was sequenced. A revised morphology of S. andersonii Bedd is also prepared. A ML phylogram was constructed to evaluate the phylogenetic perspective of S. andersonii Bedd.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
