“…Lundin and Nordenstam (2009) considered the genus to have about 175 species distributed from Sri Lanka and India to the Indo-Pacific. As per recent assessment by considering the works published after Gamble’s 1919 treatment, the genus is represented by 52 species in India and Western Ghats has the highest species diversity with about 35 species (Nayar 1976, Giri and Nayar 1985, 1986a,b, 1987, Prakash and Mehrotra 1988, Gopalan and Henry 1989, Giri et al 1992, Ravikumar 1999, Murugan and Manickam 2002, Josephine et al 2003, Lundin and Nordenstam 2009, Murugesan and Balasubramaniam 2011, Narayanan et al 2013, 2014a, b, Deepthikumary and Pandurangan 2014, Sunil et al 2014, Narayanan et al 2015). …”
