Index to genera and families. A first compilation of the Flora of Andhra Pradesh was prepared by Pullaiah et al. (1997), which deals with 2500 species of angiosperms. However, during further study of herbarium specimens and perusal of literature it has been observed that about 272 taxa need to be included in Flora of Andhra Pradesh. Therefore, in order to make the flora of Andhra Pradesh more comprehensive, it was considered worthwhile to publish the taxonomic account of all additional taxa in the form of a supplement. - Volumes 1 -5 of the 'flora' havebeen published 1997 (1-4) and 5 (2008) by Pullaiah and colleagues.
