During studies on the weed-flora of the Indian Botanic Garden, Sibpur, Howrah, two forms of "Dentella repens", were met with; they were identified as two distinct species-D. retens (Linn.) J. R. & G. Forst. and D. scrpyllifolia Wall. ex Airy-Shaw. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of both the species, hitherto not available in Indian floras, are given to facilitate easy identification. Specimens of Dentella present in various herbaria in India were studied in order to establish their correct identity.
