This paper presents a taxonomic study of genus s.str. from southern Asia. Eleven regional endemic species are recognized on the basis of herbarium studies and fieldwork. Three new species are described: (endemic to Pakistan), (endemic to India), and (endemic to Pakistan, Kashmir and Tibet). Three species names, , and , previously treated as synonyms of , and , respectively, are resurrected. A neotype is designated for the Afghani endemic . A lectotype is chosen from the syntypes of . We resolve the long-standing taxonomic problems in three species complexes: , , , and ; , and ; and and . Geo-taxonomic distinctions of southern Asian taxa are highlighted by excluding from henceforth the long misrecognized western Eurasian taxa and . Furthermore, a detailed account of the genus including illustrations of whole plants, leaves and corona, distribution maps, a taxonomic key, morphological descriptions, synonymy, notes, and information on phenology, distribution and habitats is provided. Finally, provisional conservation assessments are provided, which indicate that and are critically endangered.
本文介绍了对南亚狭义属的分类学研究。基于标本馆研究和野外调查，确认了11个地区特有物种。描述了3个新物种：（巴基斯坦特有）、（印度特有）和（巴基斯坦、克什米尔和西藏特有）。此前分别被视为、和同义词的3个物种名称、和被重新启用。为阿富汗特有种指定了新模式标本。从的合模式标本中选定了一个后选模式标本。我们解决了3个物种复合体中长期存在的分类学问题：、、和；、和；以及和。通过从今以后排除长期被错误认定的欧亚大陆西部类群和，突出了南亚类群的地理分类学差异。此外，还提供了该属的详细说明，包括整株植物、叶子和副花冠的插图、分布图、分类检索表、形态描述、同义词、注释以及物候、分布和生境信息。最后，提供了临时保护评估，表明和极度濒危。
