Critical taxonomic appraisal of the constituent species supports existence of only five species, viz. <em>T. dalzellii</em>, <em>T. fischeri</em>, <em>T. infaustum</em>, <em>T. minutum</em> and <em>T. sivaganganum, </em>and all are with restricted distribution in India. <em>Theriophonum minutum </em>is the only species with extended distribution<em> </em>in Sri Lanka. The recently described <em>T. danielii</em> and <em>T. manickamii</em> are considered here as conspecific with <em>T. infaustum</em> and <em>T. fischeri</em>, respectively.</p><p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpt.v21i1.19269">http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpt.v21i1.19269</a></p><p>Bangladesh J.
