Abstract

Two specimens of Peplidium maritimum (L.f.) Asch. (Scrophulariaceae / Phrymaceae) are recorded from the Indian Ocean coastline of Kenya, representing the first record of this species and genus for the Flora of Tropical East Africa. The generic key for the Flora volume is revised to accommodate this addition and a description is provided, together with notes on its distribution, habitat requirements and conservation status. The first Kenyan records of Limnophila indica (L.) Druce and Lindernia zanzibarica Eb.Fisch. & Hepper are also noted.
