The exotic or non-native organisms that occur outside their natural adapted ranges and dispersal potential are called alien species. Human beings have been introducing animals and plants from one part of the world to another, for various purposes by different means since time immemorial. Some of the alien species become invasive when they are introduced deliberately or accidentally outside their natural habitats into new areas where they express the potential to establish, invade and out-compete native species1.Full Text

The effective conservation of a species is feasible only when its taxonomy and ecology are well understood. India is one of the top ten countries in the world, reporting several new species and is also recognized as a centre of plant extinction. The role of plant taxonomists in the country is considered crucial. This article discusses one of the most neglected taxonomic practices among Indian taxonomists while describing new taxa. It is done in the context of the field and detailed macro- and micro-morphological studies of a newly described Lepidagathis Willd. (Acanthaceae) species from the lateritic plateaus of the Western Ghats in Kerala as an example. The taxonomy of Lepidagathis keralensis Madhus. & N.P. Singh is also discussed with an updated description and colour photographs for precise identification.Keywords
