Osbeckia sect. Amblyanthera

The section Amblyanthera was originally established by Triana (1871) to include three species viz ., O. truncata , O. brachystemon and O. parvifolia . The section is characterized by tetramerous flowers, anthers without a beak and campanulate or obconic hypanthium with emergences and hairs. Clarke (1879) included four species namely, O. truncata , O. cupularis , O. parvifolia and O. rheedii , of which, the latter is a native of Sri Lanka. In India, this section consists of four species including the new taxa described recently ( Prashob et al., 2018).
