carduifolia.

There is a Blepharis found in Scinde and the Punjab which is 
figured by Wight in the ‘ Icones, t. 1535 & 1536, as Acanthodium 
grossum, N. ab E., while the specimens of it in the Kew Herbarium 
are referred by Planchon to Acanthodium hirtum, Hochst. The 
Scinde plant is quite distinct from both of these species, though 
it is nearly allied to the last one. In an Enumeration of East 
Indian Acanthacee which I am preparing in uniformity with 
Hooker and Thomson’s Precursores, I have adopted Stock’s MS. 
name for this species, B. Scindica.
