In the absence of fruit it ia impossible? to determine this plant with certninty. 



Bent'nam (Journ. Linn. Soe.v.T) [18(>1] p. 77) says that he suspects DalzelTs specinious 



to be si le-sho(jts from J'. c«/yr(<A/i'a with the inflorescence abnormally axillary. The 



shape and nervation of the leaves are, however, opposed to this view. In addition to 



the specimens obtained by Dalzell from Ciiorla Q-liat, there is one other specimen in 



Herb. Kew. marked " Konkan, S/ocks," while I have in my own Herbarium 4 good 



specimens, in full flower, collected from Devimr.na Ghat (N. Kanaia) in the month of 



February. Unfortunately none of these specimens are in fruit. Woodrow in his list 



" Tiombay plants (1. c.) gives Tinai (X. Kanara) as a habitat of the plant, while 



'" --" Itomb. p. 51) says he has no knowledge whatever of it. Beddome
