Of the hitherto known taxa of EPILOBIUM ONE species is relegated to synonymy, one new species has been added. Original citations, synonymy, reference to taxonomic revisions and Indian floras, types, distribution, ecological notes, phenology etc. have been provided. A key to the genera and species is given.
