Abstract
Ophiorrhiza sasidharaniana A.S.V. Nair, A. Gangapr., K.B. Rameshk. & E.S.S. Kumar sp. nova (Rubiaceae) is described from the southern Western Ghats, Kerala, India. It is morphologically similar to O. grandiflora, an endemic of the Western Ghats, but differs from it by the characters of the leaves, stipules, bracts, bracteoles, and flowers. A detailed description, distribution, notes on the habitats and colour images are provided.
