Between Tenom and Melalap, 700’, by the railway track, in a ditch in a 
recent clearing. Jan. 2849. 
Distrib. General in tropics and subtropics. 
The plant is a very small form. I suppose it would come under Braun’s 
var. indica, though it is much smaller than any form we have from that part 
of the world. We have an equally small form from Brazil. The species is 
very common in the tropics, occurring throughout India, Ceylon, Straits 
Settlements, Java, also in Japan and in tropical Africa and Mauritius. 
It is one of the commonest species in the West Indies and Northern 
South America and Southern North America. The plant is immature, and 
it is difficult to say very much about young states.
