 Hook. f. Fl. B. I. v.4,p. 281), is noticed in ])alzeirrt ' Bombay Flora,'p. 179, as occurring 

 at Vingorla iu the Koukan. I have seen no specimens from Viu^orla nor in fact 

 from the Bombay Presidency at all. Tlicurjh the country around Vingorla has been 

 well examined by the plant-collectors of the Botanical Survey of W. India, the plant 

 has not been discovered tliere by any of them nor does Woodrow include it in his list, 

 while Sir J. U. Hooker (Fl. B. I. 1. c.) has not seen any specimens from Yingorla.
