This plant has been included on the authority of Dalzell & Gibson (Bo. Fl. 1. c). 

 Dakell & Gibson, who describe the plant accurately, say that it is "common in the 

 Deccan," which must, I think, be a mistake. I have lived in the Deccan for 25 years 

 and hare largely collected plants therein, but 1 have never found it, nor, as far as I know, 

 has it been found in the Bombay Presidency by any other collectors. It does not 

 appear in Woodrow's list in the Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society, nor 

 are there any specimens from the Bombay Presidency in Herb. Kew.
