Material and Methods
In the late summer of 2022, the field data was gathered by one of the
senior researchers who undertook a field investigation in the vicinity
of Jodhpur along Pali roadsides, wastelands, and they observed unusualIndigofera species. being persuaded of the importance of the
morphology of fruits, flowers, and seeds. The specimens of the species
were gathered from natural populations that were growing along the
roadsides and on wastelands and in arid conditions, at a distance of
around three to five kilometres. The specimens were investigated in the
Life Sciences, Research Lab, Govt. College for Women, Parade, Jammu,
Jammu & Kashmir conducted research to ascertain the identity of the
species. The closely related species of Jammu & Kashmir and Rajasthan
were investigated in particular, along with comparative accounts and
other morphological characteristics. The stereomicroscopic studies
showed various characteristics that are impressively unique from those
of the genus Indigofera ’s previously identified species. The
flower components were boiled in water for a minute to make it easier to
assess their features before the stereoscopic observations. A MagCam -
DC Camera was used in the lab to capture several microphotographs. To
determine its correct identify, the pertinent literature (Polhill 1981a,
Hutchinson 1964, Sharma and Kachroo 1981, Sheetty and Singh 1987,
Philipson 1992, Sanjappa 1995, Wilson and Rowe 2004, 2010, 2015, Purohit
and Kulloli, 2021) was consulted. The following is the recommended
process for creating herbarium sheets (Jain and Rao 1977, Bridson and
Foreman 1999). The following description employs the terminology:
(Stearn 1966, Berger 1972, Hickey1973, and Vogel 1980). The Institute of
Integrative Medicine (IIIM) Jammu, Department of Botany, University of
Jammu has the new species’ vouchers on record in its herbaria. Different
herbaria’s closely related species were consulted, including the
Department of Botany at the University of Jammu, the Janaki Ammal
Herbarium (RRLH), and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew (K) (HBJU). The
Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine, often known as RRLH, indexed
in Thiers 2018 is where new species’ vouchers are deposited.
