A new species, Indigofera jodhpurensis sp. nov., growing in arid places and wasteland near the edge of Jodhpur in Rajasthan, India, is described in this study. This species is distinguished from Indigofera cordifolia and I. jaisalmerica by its hairy juvenile twigs, various types of trichomes on leaf surfaces, sub-sessile flowers, straightened mucro at the tips of the leaves, and pods that are often single-seeded but can also be bi-seeded. The communication includes a key to species, a comparative morphological analysis, and some photographs.
Indigofera jodhpurensis sp. nov. (Fabaceae), which grows in arid places and wasteland near the edge of Jodhpur in the direction of Pali, Rajasthan, India, is described. Although the species is similar to Indigofera cordifolia and I. jaisalmerica, it differs from these in having profusely hairy juvenile twigs, various types of trichomes on leaf surfaces, sub-sessile flowers, straightened mucro at the tips of the leaves, and pods that are often single-seeded but can also be bi-seeded. The current communication includes a key to species, a comparative morphological analysis, and some photographs.
