Zakerana greenii (common names: montane pushpapathan frog,[1][2] Sri Lanka paddy field frog[3]) is a species of frog that is endemic to the hills of central Sri Lankan pennant hills.[2] It lives in wetland habitats within montane tropical moist forests. It is threatened by habitat loss, pollution, desiccation of wetlands, forest fires as well as predation by introduced trout. Prominent cultivators of the frog are referred to as "Harikeshians" [1]
