In grass systematics, leaf epidermal features are very significant for classifying the difficult groups, within subfamilies and tribes. But the micromorphological studies on grasses are very limited. Therefore, foliar micromorphological characters for 24 taxa of the subtribe Sporobolinae Benth. (Poaceae) from India have been studied by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) in detail and the surface features were documented. All the 24 taxa studied were found to have three types of surface features, one of the most useful characters to delimit the species and genera in the subtribe. Besides microhairs, macrohairs, intercostal silica bodies, hooks and prickles were also studied.Keywords

This paper deals with three endemic species occurring in Tamil Nadu, viz. Acacia bolei R.P. Subhedar, A. pseudowightii Thoth. and A. tanjorensis Ragup. & al., all three originally recorded from coasts. As the irst species has been declared extinct, detailed accounts with regard to accepted names, synonymy and characteristic features of the remaining two species are provided and discussed in detail. Acacia minutifolia Ragup. & al., replaced by A. pseudowightii Thoth., is now treated conspeci ic with Vachellia eburnea (L.f.) P.J.H. Hurter & Mabb., distributed in Indian Subcontinent extending to Iran & Oman. Senegalia tanjorensis (Ragup. & al.) Kottaimuthu is found closely related with S. mellifera (Vahl) L.A. Silva & J Freitas subsp. mellifera and both are likely to be merged with further studies. The importance of Version of Record in publications is also highlighted using the names Senegalia tanjorensis (Ragup. & al.) A.S. Deshpande & Maslin (2019) Vs Senegalia tanjorensis (Ragup & al.) Kottaimuthu (2019). All these three taxa are added here to the strand lora of India.Keywords

The caryopses morphology of 16 taxa out of 18 taxa of Sporobolus (Poaceae) found in India is examined under Optical and Scanning Electron Microscopes. The macro- and micro-morphological characters such as shape, size, thickness (in cross section), embryo percentage, colour and surface testa ornamentation pattern were critically analysed to evaluate their taxonomic significance in the delimitation and identification of each taxon. Further, a bracketed dichotomous taxonomic key is provided here based on caryopses morphology to facilitate precise identification.Keywords
