Indian floral region

Indian floral region Part of R. Good's (The Geography of the Flowering Plants, 1974) Indo-Malaysian subkingdom within his palaeotropical kingdom, and more a region of floral mixing than a distinct entity, notwithstanding the extent of the subcontinent. There are only about 150 endemic genera (see ENDEMISM), and most of these are monotypic. Many varied and useful plants are thought to be native to the region. See also FLORAL REGION and FLORISTIC PROVINCE.
