I doubt much if this plant or its var. latifolia, C. B. Clarke, 13 to be found wild within 

 the liiuils of the Bombay Presidency. It has not, as far as I know, been found there 

 by any plant-collector. There is in Herb. Ivow. a specimen collected by Stocks from 

 & garden in Sind and another specimen by tlie same collector marked " Herb. Stocks," 

 but without any locality assigned to it. This specimen may or may not have been 

 obtained from the same place as the former. Again, there is a specimen from Dalzell 

 ticketed " cultivated in Sind," and another scrap from the same collector without any 

 locality assigned.
