does.so in Northern India, the latter species seems to do so in 
Southern India. The chi ef difficulty connected with the accept- 
ance of the view lies in the fact that C. parvifolia occurs in 
Scinde, where C. prostrata has not yet been found.

n the Edinburgh Herbarium there is an Indian specimen of 
gioco parvifolia, collected by Ritchie, which has not been 
localised. The question as to the possible provenance of this speci- 
men (Zitchie n. 670) will be discussed along with the similar 
problem involved in the case of another (Ritchie n. 671) which 
belongs to Chrozophora hierosolymitana, and is also unlocalised. 
It may be stated here, however, that probably neither specimen 
came from any part of the Bombay Presidency, which was the 
scene of Ritchie's activities as a collector. 
The locality Malacca, cited by Miiller, is the result of some 
misapprehension; the epee which was collected by Klein, 
came from Southern India
