In the recent compilation of Acanthaceae, Karthikeyan et al. (2009) included nine species and two varieties of the genus in India. Asystasia is characterized by the slightly curved corolla with a narrow tube at base, markedly inflated in upper two-thirds (Blume, 1826). During the plant explorations of Vikarabad district, Telangana, the authors collected specimens of Asystasia from the edges of dry deciduous forest in Ananthagiri Hills during September 2020. After a critical study and perusal of relevant literature (Meena, 2014), the specimens were identified as Asystasia mysorensis (Roth) T. Anderson which has not yet been reported from the Telangana (Pullaiah, 2015; Reddy & Reddy, 2016). Therefore, it is being reported here as an addition to the flora of Telangana. The voucher specimen is deposited in Herbarium, Osmania University, Hyderabad (HY). 收起
