CENTRAL NEPAL: Wallich in Herb. Linn. Soc. 
A single specimen of this species was found by me in a bundle of 
remainders after the distribution of the Wallichian Herbarium, in the 
rooms of the Linnean Society, bearing the label of I. longicornu, Wall. 
4729, in Wallich’s handwriting. In the body of the Wallichian

the same sheet under the name of J. longicornu, Wall Nepal, 1821.
