Lophopogon is a ditypic genus endemic to India, consisting of two well-known species Lophopogon tridentatus (Roxb.) Hackel and Lophopogon kingii Hook f. belonging to the tribe Andropogoneae in the grass family.[2][3][4][5]
Lophopogon prasannae, a species described from the state of Andhra Pradesh is allied to L. kingii and was thus synonymised as a new heterotypic synonym of the latter.[5] L. tridentatus is a widely distributed species in India whereas L. kingii is a rare grass occurring in Bihar, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka in India.[5]
