Abstract


Alectra parasitica A. Rich., with a wide distribution in Eastern & North-Eastern Africa but hitherto not recorded from this country has now been collected in the Banda District of Uttar Pradesh. Since the Indian plant differs from the African specimens in the strongly rhizomatous development of the underground parts of the stem, it has been described as a new variety and is named A. parasitica A. Rich., var. chitrakutensis M. A. Rau, var. nov.
