- Abstract
Dimeria Robert Brown (1810) is well known paleotropical genus belonging to Poaceae (Andropogoneae - Dimeriinae) (Clayton and Renvoize, 1986). Globally, it is represented by c. 65 species distributed in tropical Asian region and in India by c. 40 species (Bor, 1953, 1960; Clayton and Renvoize, 1986; Clayton et al., 2006; Kiran Raj, 2008; Kiran Raj et al., 2015, 2016). Dimeria is characterized by equal and divergent binate racemes with laterally compressed spikelets. While exploring the plant wealth of Satkosia Tiger Reserve, first author has collected an interesting Dimeria species from Banigoccha Reserve Forest, Mahanadi Wildlife Division. After critical examination of the specimens with available literature and comparison with allied species, it is revealed that the species is distinct from Dimeria connivens and therefore, recognized it as a new variety of Dimeria connivens Hack. A key to the varieties of D. connivens in India is also provided.
