In Rajasthan, distribution of Lantana indica Roxb. and Leucas lavandulifolia Sm. were found complicated. In a checklist of flora of Rajasthan, their distribution were reported without mentioning any specific location of the collection and were considered under doubtful taxon and no herbarium specimen could be collected from Rajasthan. During the survey of Indian desert, we collected both species from Sikar district, Rajasthan. The purpose of this study is to indicate distribution in the state. In the present communication, a distribution map, short description and photo-plates are provided for easy identification

During the field survey of Indian desert, authors collected both species i.e. Lantana indica Roxb. and Leucas lavandulifolia Sm. from Sikar district, Rajasthan. Both species were observed near sandy plains in degraded forest land which was exposed to open sun light. Hence, the present collection of these species from Sikar district authenticates the occurrence of two taxa in Rajasthan and also additions for flora of Rajasthan and Indian desert. Further field investigations are needed to disclose their possible distribution in Rajasthan
