Later, it was transferred to Argyreia by Sweet (1830) and subsequently by Choisy (1833). Most Indian floras attribute the combination ‘ Argyreia argentea ’ to Choisy. However, Sweet’s combination predates that of Choisy, so the correct authority for the name should be A. argentea (Roxb.) Sweet. The combination proposed by Choisy (1834) is therefore an isonym.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A350EF2BFFC4FF8261CEFD9AFB9BF978	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, as the publication appeared twice, the earlier one, in accordance with the rule of priority, is considered the correct combination.</p><p>The species shows affinities with A. osyrensis (Roth ex Roem. &amp; Schult.) Choisy in terms of leaf shape, flower size, and plant body tomentum. It differs, however, in several characters, including the architecture of the inflorescence, bract shape and size, and sepal shape.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A350EF2BFFCAFF896275F8B9FE46FD8F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The EOO of the species is more than 54,000 km ², and its AOO is greater than 2,000 km ². Populations of the species occur at many locations, so it does not meet the criteria for Vulnerable or Near Threatened. Therefore, it should be placed in the Least Concern (LC) category of the IUCN (2024).</p><p>Notes: Argyreia boseana is similar to A. involucrata, but the former is a climber with orbicular cordate leaves, dichotomously branched cyme, oblong bracts and acuminate sepals. A. boseana also shares similarities with A. hookeri C.B. Clarke in having orbicular cordate shaped leaves, loosely arranged cyme, size of flower and yellow colored berries. However, it differs in having glabrous leaves, larger and oblong bracts, and sepals with unequal, acuminate apices. Morevover, A. hookeri is restricted to the northeastern region (Lawand &amp; Shimpale, 2020), where as A. boseana is endemic to peninsular India. The former is often erroneously recorded from peninsular India ( Cooke, 1908).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A350EF2BFFCFFF8861F7FD1EFD59FC43	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Lawand 035 (NCK) .</p><p>Conservation status: The species is only known from Nilgiri district of Tamil Nadu. Being endemic to this region, the species is under significant threat due to habitat destruction caused by land conversion for tea cultivation. Its populations are fragmented, with each observed population comprising fewer than 1,000 mature, reproducing individuals. Based on the IUCN (2024) guidelines, the species qualifies for Vulnerable (VU) status under criteria B1 and B2.</p><p>Notes: In the protologue, the species is noted to resemble Argyreia hirsuta Wight &amp; Arn. and Argyreia pilosa Wight &amp; Arn. However, morphologically, Argyreia coonoorensis closely resembles A. hirsuta in several traits, including leaf shape, the relative lengths of the petiole and peduncle, inflorescence architecture, bract shape, sepal shape, and fruit size and color. The primary distinguishing features of A. coonoorensis are its dense, long indumentum covering the entire plant and the presence of milky latex. Given these similarities, we hypothesize that A. coonoorensis could be a high-altitude variant of A. hirsuta . However, further studies, particularly molecular analyses, are necessary to resolve its taxonomic status conclusively.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A350EF2BFFCCFF946275FF52FE01F857	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, it differs in having 1–2 mm long and very early caducous bracts as opposed to.5– 2.5 cm, lanceolate and persistent in A. lawii . The plants also differ in the hairiness of the plant body.</p><p>This species exhibits variations in flower numbers per inflorescence, as well as the lengths of the peduncle and pedicel. Among the specimens collected from Mulashi (Pune), approximately 30 individuals had one to a few flowers per inflorescence. The peduncle length in these Mulashi specimens measured 1.3–2.5 cm, which is shorter than in typical populations. Similarly, the pedicel length measured 1.2–2 cm, which is an infrequent trait for this species. Additionally, the sepals in this species are glabrous, a rare characteristic. Despite these differences, we conclude that these represent intraspecific variations rather than distinct species-level differences. Dassanayake and Fosberg (1980) reported the presence of secondary veins in the leaves of Argyreia elliptica . However, this feature is absent in Indian populations of the species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A350EF2BFFD5FF9D627EFEE8FD36FD45	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Its area of occupancy (AOO) does not exceed 500 km 2 and known from three localities from Kerala and one from Tamil Nadu. The number of mature individuals in each population is less than 250. Here we propose that Endangered as a conservation status (EN, B1, B2a and C2ai) (IUCN, 2024).</p><p>Uses: The leaves of the species possess aphrodisiac properties.</p><p>Notes: The species can be easily identified by its silvery, shiny lower leaf surface, purple secondary veins in young leaves, and dry, brown-colored berries. Argyreia fulgens shares morphological similarities with Argyreia mollis (Burm.f.) Choisy, as both species possess elliptic leaves with silvery, shiny lower surfaces and flowers of similar size and shape. However, A. fulgens can be distinguished by the presence of a gland at the base of the petiole, a higher number of secondary veins, caducous bracts, and its characteristic dry, brown berries. Additionally, A. fulgens produces dry, brown berries similar to those of A. cuneata and A. nervosa .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A350EF2BFFDBFF9F61F7FD58FD7DFD96	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Although A. hookeri has been reported in regional and state floras from Maharashtra and Karnataka, these reports are erroneous. The species is actually restricted to the high-altitude regions of NorthEast India (Lawand &amp; Shimpale, 2020).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A350EF2BFFD8FF9961CEFCEAFDE2FA64	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Corolla funnel form, 4–5 cm long, 4–5 cm wide, pink-purple, throat purple c. 1 cm wide, hairy outer on midpetaline bands, corolla lobes twisted in bud and shortly apiculate in flower. Stamens 5, inserted in corolla tube, unequal in length, 2.5–3.5 cm long; filaments pink, dilated and glandular hairy at base; anthers pale pink. Ovary few 1–2 mm in diam.; style 1; stigma biglobose, pink. Berries c. 1 cm across, yellow.</p><p>Flowering &amp; Fruiting: Flowering from late July to September and fruiting from October to December.</p><p>Habitat: The populations of the species are frequent along the roads at altitude of 700– 800 m. If no support to twin it grows prostrate and if gets support plants climbs up to height of 20 ft.</p><p>Distribution: India (Karnataka and Maharashtra); Endemic to peninsular India.</p><p>Etymology: The species is named after the collector J.S. Law .</p><p>Specimens examined: INDIA, Karnataka, Chickmagalur District, Bababoodhan Hills, base of the hills, 19.01.2018, P. R . Lawand 50 (NCK) . Maharashtra, Kolhapur District, Bhudargad, 700 m, 11.09.2017, P. R . Lawand &amp; Shimpale 11 (NCK); Kolhapur District, on the way to Patgaon, October 2017, P. R . Lawand 051 (NCK) .</p><p>Conservation status: The species has been collected from two locations, one in Karnataka and another in Maharashtra. At the latter location, specifically at Bhudargad Fort and Patgaon in Kolhapur district, we observed 4–6 mature individuals, with very low fruit setting in the species. The plant is relatively frequent at Bababudhan Hills, Karnataka, but the total area of occurrence is unlikely to exceed 10 km ². Road clearing, widening, and land conversion for coffee plantations are potential threats contributing to habitat destruction and posing risks to the species’ survival. Based on IUCN Red List criteria (IUCN, 2024), we propose the conservation status of Endangered (EN B1ab and C2a(i)) for this taxon.</p><p>Notes: The species is similar to Argyreia elliptica in leaf shape, indumentum, and flower shape but is clearly distinct in its habit, bract size and shape, and inflorescence architecture. Both A. elliptica and A. lawii were found growing sympatrically but occupy distinct ecological niches.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A350EF2BFFE3FFA4627EFB7CFB2AFD30	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

A. roxburghii is further distinguished by its large oblong-lanceolate bracts, larger outer bracts, and larger fruit size. The name Ipomoea multiflora was first published by Roxburgh (1824). However, it became a later homonym of I. multiflora Roemer &amp; Schultes ( Syst . Veg., ed. 15 bis 4: 234. 1819). As later homonyms are illegitimate and subject to rejection, Sweet (1826) provided a replacement name, Ipomoea roxburghii . Subsequently, Choisy (1834) transferred this name to the genus Argyreia, renaming it Argyreia roxburghii (Sweet) Choisy.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A350EF2BFFE9FFAE627EFF52FBDAFE5A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, Argyreia setosa occurs in central and peninsular India, which is distinct from Argyreia capitiformis .</p><p>Clarke (1883) recognized a variety named var. minor C.B.Clarke under Lettsomia setosa which was transferred to Argyreia by Staples and Traiperm (2017) as Argyreia setosa (Roxb.) Sweet var. minor (C.B. Clarke) Staples &amp; Traiperm. However, after studying the range of variation within A. setosa, it is clear that var. minor falls within the circumscription of the speceis, hence synonymised here. The same has been noted by Santapau and Patel (1958) rather they maintained its varietal status.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A350EF2BFFEDFFB5627EFE38FF66FB5E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, apart from the presence of yellow berries and general flower morphology, the species is entirely distinct from A. pilosa . Instead, it is more closely allied to Argyreia arakuensis and may represent a geographic variant of it. Argyreia arakuensis and A. srinivasanii share several common traits, including a densely white-tomentose lower leaf surface, compactly arranged inflorescences, similar flower shape and size, comparable sepals, and yellow-colored fruit. However, A. srinivasanii is distinguished by its ovate leaves (longer than broad), the presence of 6–7 secondary veins, shorter peduncle length, and lanceolate-spathulate bracts that are narrower compared to those of A. arakuensis .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A350EF2BFFF7FFB061F7F922FEAEFBA8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Clarke (1883) based on the presence of leathery leaves and sepals, a concept later adopted in the Flora of Mizoram. During our observations of several populations of A. wallichii in northeastern India, we noted that the young leaves of A. wallichii appear leathery but become thin and papery upon maturity, with the hairs on the lower leaf surface turning ashy white. Additionally, A. wallichii var. wallichii also exhibits leathery sepals. Based on studies of type specimens and field observations, we are confident that the supposed varieties within the species represent morphological or developmental variations.

However, it is distinct due to its lance-ovate bracts, longer peduncles, and few-flowered inflorescence. The species is popularly referred to as A. pomacea among Indian taxonomists. However, Staples and Traiperm (2017) have synonymized this name under A. zeylanica .</p><p>Argyreia lakshminarasimhanii S. Shalini, Sujana, Arisdason &amp; D. Maity, a recently described species from the southern Western Ghats of India (Shalini et al., 2020), closely resembles A. zeylanica in several aspects. Both species share ovate, whitesericeous abaxial leaves, lance-ovate to lanceolate bracts, and compact inflorescences.</p><p>Notably, A. lakshminarasimhanii was described based on the adnation (attachment) of stamens at the base of the corolla tube—a feature considered unique and absent in other Indian Argyreia species. However, our observations reveal that this character is also present in A. elliptica, A. kondaparthensis, A. mastersii, A. mollis, A. sikkimensis, and even in A. zeylanica .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A350EF2BFFF5FFBD627EFC40FDC6FE32	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
