Capillipedium Explained
Capillipedium (common name scented-tops)[1] is a genus of plants in the grass family.[2] [3] [4] They are native to Africa, Asia, Australia, and certain islands in the Western Pacific.[5] [6]
Capillipedium mistryi is an exception in the genus from India in which solid instead of translucent pedicels are seen and spikelets are multispiculated, racemes comprising up to 25 spikelets. A recently described species, C. yashwantraoi, from Madhya Pradesh, India has been subsumed under the former as a new heterotypic synonym.[7]
