“…Mukherjee and Constance (1993) reported 68 genera and 240 species from India. Recently five species and one genus have been described from India by various authors in the family (Mohanan and Pimenov 2007, Kljuykov et al 2019, Gosavi et al 2020, Prabhukumar et al 2020, Thakur et al 2020, therefore the present account of the family Apiaceae are 69 genera and 245 species to the country. Six genera of the family are endemic to the country (Gosavi et al 2016) During floristic work of the Konkan region of Maharashtra the authors collected an specimen of the family Apiaceae from the low elevated lateritic plateaus.…”

Psammogeton hirsutus Bhellum and Magotra (Apiaceae), a novel species collected from the lowlands of Jammu and Kashmir, north‐west India's subtropical region, is described and illustrated. Psammogeton hirsutus resembles one its close relatives P. canescens and P. shivalikense; however, it differs significantly in terms of the plant being hirsute, sheaths of leafbases, ciliate peduncle degree of pubescence, bracts and bracteoles, and fruit shape. We provide data on phenology, distribution map, a comparison of species with comparable morphologies, and a key to closely related species.
