Abstract

A new species of Psammogeton (Apiaceae) found in Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir, India, is described and illustrated. It is similar to Psammogeton canescens of this genus but differing from it in having noticeably radical leaves, deeply ternate leave with acuminate apex, an elongated stylopodium, and fruits hairs that are over three times longer than they are wide. Together with the images, a distribution map, comparison of closely related Psammogeton canescens with comparable morphologies and phenologies, and a key are included.
