This again, though difficult to define by words, appears to be a very distinct 
species with the small leaves and straggling habit of T. asiatica var. parvifolia, the 
petiole being often as long as the blade. The fruiting pedicels are much thickened, 
and the calyx is very narrow.—A drawing from Stock’s collection represents the flowers 
as red-purple, but they are described in the Bombay Flora as deep violet with a 
white under lip.
