Abstract

Ephedra Linnaeus (1753: 1040) is a genus with approximately 40 species Christenhusz et al. (2011), although the estimates range from 31 Stapf (1889) to ca 50 Price (1996). Sahni (1990) lists eight species for India and adjoining regions, but three additional species (E. kardangensis P.Sharma & P.L.Uniyal in Sharma et al. 2010: 730, E. khurickensis P.Sharma & P.L.Uniyal in Sharma et al. 2010: 731, E. sumlingensis Sharma & Uniyal 2008: 179), have recently been added from the Western Himalayas since (Sharma & Uniyal 2014).
