Nanooravia

Southern India
(Kerala, Karnataka).

The genus was circumscribed by MS Kiran Raj and M.Sivadasan, and published in Nord. J. Bot., Vol. 31 on page 161 in 2013.[4] It is characterised by unusual intertwined inflorescence; solitary pedicelled spikelet with auricled glumes, and long callus covered with golden yellow hairs.[3][7]

The genus name Nanooravia is in honour of Professor N. Ravi,

botanist and environmentalist. His serious efforts were instrumental in recognising the Asramam Biodiversity Heritage Site (ABHS), Kollam, the first in Kerala State.[9]
