Combination in Indurgia

Indurgia Speta (2001: 169) includes species of Urgineoideae from India and neighbouring countries, related to I. indica ( Roxburgh 1832: 147) Speta (2001: 170) . Our phylogenetic findings (Fig. 3 in Martínez-Azorín et al. 2018b) show that all studied samples of Urgineoideae from that region form a well-supported clade which we accept as Indurgia . Moreover, samples from Africa usually identified as “ Drimia indica ” belong instead to Vera-duthiea Speta (2016: 154) or Zingela Crouch et al. (2018: 36) , as shown by Crouch et al. (2018) and by Martínez-Azorín et al. (2018c). Therefore, we here combine Urginea raogibikei Hemadri (2006a: 386) in Indurgia , a species described from the Nellore district in India and fitting the morphology of that genus.
