Abstract

Henckelia viridiflora J. Mathew & P.M. Salim (Gesneriaceae), a new species from the southern Western Ghats, India, is described based on morphological data. It resembles H. fischeri, but differs from it by e.g. having campanulate vs. ventricose flowers and a green vs. pale lilac inner surface of corolla. A detailed description and colour images of the new taxon are presented.
