All the numerous specimens in the Kew Herbarium bearing 
the name Pergularia odoratissima have been referred, so far as 
the ‘ Flora of British India’ is concerned, to P. minor, Andrews 
(Bot. Rep. t. 184), and P. pallida, Wight et Arn. (Wight, Ic. PI. 
Ind. Or. t. 585), and there is little doubt that the last named is 
the same as P. odoratissima. On the other hand, different as the 
drawings are of P. minor and P. odoratissima, it is difficult to 
distinguish herbarium specimens.
