Abstract

Pyrostria laljii M.C. Naik, Arriola & M. Bheemalingappa (Rubiaceae) from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India is described and illustrated. It closely resembles P. cochinchinensis and P. subsessilifolia by having subsessile inflorescences and a very short peduncle. However, the presence of a 1 cm long petiole, a shorter glabrous pedicel and an 8–12-flowered umbellate inflorescence sets P. laljii apart from P. cochinchinensis and P. subsessilifolia. Pyrostria laljii represents the first record of the genus from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
