Abstract

Polygonum chaturbhujanum K.C. Mohan sp. nova (Polygonaceae) is described and illustrated from an island in the Totladoh Reservoir, Pench Tiger Reserve, Maharashtra, India. It morphologically resembles P. effusum, P. paronychioides and P. plebeium, but differs from them in having smaller leaves (5–7 mm long); shorter ochreae (2.0–2.5 mm long); inflorescence of dense terminal spikes at the end of the branches; bracts smaller than cauline leaves; perianth lobes emarginate with an apical mucro; smaller ovary (0.5 mm long); and achenes with short beak.
