Plants of the Indian desert belonging to 29 families, 85 genera and 105 species of angiosperms were screened for the possible occurrence of the C-pathway of photosynthetic CO-fixation. The criteria used for screening were leaf anatomy and/or δC values. The results indicated the occurrence of the C-pathway in members of 3 new families (Acanthaceae, Cleomaceae, Scrophulariaceae), 10 new genera (Aerva, Anticharis, Blepharis, Elyonurus, Glossocardia , Gynandropsis, Melanocenchris, Sehima, Sesuvium, Zalaeya) and 34 new species of the angiosperms. All the grasses investigated were found to possess the C-pathway. Cuscuta hyalina, a phloem-parasite, growing on C hosts (Tribulus, Zalaeya) also revealed δC value very close to that found in the host plants.
对印度沙漠中属于29个科、85个属和105种被子植物的植物进行了筛选，以确定光合作用中CO固定的C途径可能存在的情况。筛选所采用的标准是叶片解剖结构和/或δC值。结果表明，在3个新科（爵床科、白花菜科、玄参科）、10个新属（沙蓬属、尖蕊花属、百簕花属、 Elyonurus、 Glossocardia 、白花菜属、 Melanocenchris、 Sehima、 Sesuvium、 Zalaeya）和34种新的被子植物中出现了C途径。所有被调查的禾本科植物都被发现具有C途径。生长在C宿主（刺蒺藜属、Zalaeya）上的韧皮部寄生植物透明菟丝子的δC值也与宿主植物中发现的非常接近。
