has been frequently mistaken for A. inoiiopht/lla and ticketed as such by collectors. 

 lu a recent communication from Mr. Ganimie of the College of Science at Poo)ia, that 

 gentleman informed me that there was not, when he wrote, a single specimen of 

 A. monophi/Ua in the College Herbarium, all the specimens there preserved being 

 specimens of A. racemosa, though some had been erroneously labelled as A. munophylla. 

 A. rcKemosa is tolerably abundant at Mahableshwar and Matberan, but I have seen no 

 specimen oi A. monophylla from either locality.
