Arisaema madhuanum , a new species of Araceae from the southern Western Ghats, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically allied to Arisaema attenuatum , from which it differs in having subulate neuters on the male spadix, a wide-mouthed spathe tube with the margins dilated into broad auricular extensions, and an erect to arching, oblong-lanceolate spathe limb with a narrow constricted basal region. The new taxon belongs to Arisaema sect. Sinarisaema Nakai.

Taxonomic and palynological studies on Arisaema Martius (Araceae) from the Western Ghats, India, distinguish two taxa belonging to section Tortuosa Engler. Arisaema sahyadricum S. R. Yadav, K. S. Patil \& Bachulkar var. ghaticum Sardesai, S. P. Gaikwad \& S. R. Yadav, a recently described variety in 2006, is treated here at the species level as A. ghaticum Punekar \& Kumaran. Arisaema sivadasanii S. R. Yadav, K. S. Patil \& Janarthanam, previously considered as a synonym of A. tortuosum (Wallich) Schott, is recognized here as the subspecies A. tortuosum subsp. sivadasanii (S. R. Yadav, K. S. Patil \& Janarthanam) Punekar \& Kumaran. Taxonomic implications are discussed and a key to the Arisaema taxa of the North Western Ghats is provided.

The diagnostic characters of Amorphophallus Blume ex Decne. sect. Conophallus (Schott) Engl. is amended based on detailed studies of characteristics of the constituent species. In India the section is represented by six species, viz. A. bognerianus Sivad. et Jaleel, A. bulbifer (Sims) Blume, A. carnosus Engl., A. commutatus (Schott) Engl., A. nicolsonianus Sivad. and A. oncophyllus Prain ex Hook. f. The species A. commutatus forms a complex with three varieties, viz. var. commutatus, var. anmodensis Sivad. et Jaleel, and var. wayanadensis Sivad. et Jaleel. Keys to the species and varieties have been provided to facilitate easy identification. Amorphophallus carnosus has been rediscovered after more than 100 years of its first discovery and collection. Amorphophallus bulbifer has comparatively wider distribution in India with extended distribution in Bangladesh and Myanmar. The species A. bognerianus, A. carnosus, A. commutatus, A. nicolsonianus and A. oncophyllus are exclusive endemics of India.

Typhonium khandwaense Mujaffar, Yasin \& Mustakim, a new species of Typhonium from Khandwa district in Madhya Pradesh, India is described and illustrated. The new species resembles Typhonium roxburghii, Typhonium trilobatum \& Typhonium inopinatum in its ovate-reniform, hastate or triangular lamina and spathe-limb twisted at tip. But the new species differs from these in having subcylindric tubers, with male zone yellow, sterile flowers filiforms and decurved covering female zone partially.

Cryptocoryne consobrina Schott, which was hitherto suspected to have become extinct has been rediscovered from Kamataka State in India. Earlier, specimens collected from Malappuram district in Kerala and Uttar Kannada district in Kamataka were misidentified as C. consobrina and were later recognized as a new species viz., Cryptocoryne sivadasanii Bogner. Cryptocoryne consobrina resembles C. sivadasanii Bogner but is quite distinct in several unique characters. A detailed description and photographs of this little known species are provided.
