Abstract
Received: 31.10.2020; Revised & Accepted: 24.02.2021 Published Online: 31.03.2021 Abstract: The genus Dolomiaea DC. (Asteraceae: Cardueae) is represented by three species in India. It is distributed in the alpine Himalaya and is often found in chasmophytic habitats. Recent advances in molecular phylogenetic studies have re-circumscribed the generic boundaries of Dolomiaea and hence a detailed taxonomic account of this genus in India is provided here. We recognize three species: Dolomiaea baltalensis Dar & Naqshi, D. costus (Falc.) Kasana & A.K.Pandey and D. macrocephala DC. ex Royle for India. Dolomiaea macrocephala and the heterotypic synonym of D. costus, Aplotaxis lappa Decne. are lectotypified.
