Phytogeography of Dimerias
In Dimeriinae, about 90% of the known world species can be found in the following three areas, viz. Peninsular India,
The distribution pattern inferred from the literature and herbarium data indicates that subtribe Dimeriinae was naturally distributed in the southern erstwhile Gondwanaland region, an area composed of Madagascar, India, Sri Lanka, Australia and South East Asia, especially the Malesian region.
Three species are restricted to

History of Dimeria
Dimeria has two tough racemes (in most of the species) of spikelets, from which the name of the genus is presumably derived. In Greek, dis means ‘double’ and, meros means ‘part’.
The genus Dimeria was created in 1810 by Robert Brown. (Type: D. acinaciformis R. Br. - an endemic species of Australia). The plant was collected by Joseph Banks (1743--1820) and Daniel Carl Solander (1736--1782) in 1770. They were passengers on Captain James Cook’s First voyage (1768--1771) in the H. M. S. Endeavour. During this trip, they explored many Asian and Australasian countries and deposited the massive plant collections from these regions at Banks Herbarium. The type specimen of the genus Dimeria R. Br. is now housed at British Museum, London (BM).
