Lagenandra gomezii (Schott) Bogner & N. Jacobsen

Gomez’s Lagenandra (Lagenandra gomezii)

This species was described in 1857; it is known only from material that was collected in 1828 somewhere in the Sylhet Division in north-eastern Bangladesh.

The original locality is now a very densely populated region and given the fact that the species has never been relocated since its description, it is quite safe to say that it is extinct.
