This is known from the ‘‘ Western Peninsula, from the Concan 
southwards ’’ so that Ceylon seems a much more likely locality for 
Walker’s plant than the Himalaya as suggested by Trimen. There 
are specimens that may be this mixed with P. rosmarinifolia W. & A. 
at Peradeniya, but the characters that separate these species require 
further study in the field. The Fl. Brit. Ind. states that the flowers 
of P. rosmarinifolia are green and of P. elongata yellow, Trimen 
gives reddish-pink, while my specimens were yellow with red spots.
