There is also a specimen in the Peradeniya Herbarium, without 
exact locality, collected by Thwaites. The description of C. Lachryma- 
Jobi Linn. in Trimen’s Flora was partly taken from that specimen. 
W. Ferguson (lI. c.) quite rightly states that this is the indigenous 
species, while C. Lachryma-Jobi Linn. is only known as a cultivated 
plant or as a casual.
