Lolium multiflorum Lam. (Poaceae: Poeae) from Kashmir Himalaya: First record to flora of Jammu & Kashmir.
Keywords:
Dachigam National Park, Festuceae, New records, Pooideae, Western HimalayasAbstract
During recent fieldwork in Srinagar, Kashmir, we collected Lolium multiflorum Lam., commonly known as annual ryegrass, or Italian rye grass, near Dachigam National Park. This marks the first recorded instance of this species in Jammu and Kashmir. We provide a detailed description, habitat information, and illustrations of L. multiflorum Lam., along with a geo-coordinate map of the collection site. This discovery increases the number of Lolium L. taxa in Jammu and Kashmir to three, with most species commonly found in Europe.
