 ChiUie. 



Akati ; as a weed, Fleming ! 



Cultivated throughout India and Malaya, probably originally 

 Malayan. 



This species is extremely apt, in the warmer valleys of the 

 Himalaya and in hot moist localities like the Andnmans and 

 Nicobars, to escape and become, as it has become here, a weed 

 of waste places. It is nevertheless doubtless a plant originally 

 intentionally introduced into the Laccadives.

Ameni; fveqnent, Hume. Audernt ; Alcoch. Akati ; occurs pretty 

 frequently and is not cultivated, Fleming! Kiltan; ''only met with 

 one plant about 100 yards from the shore," Fleming! Minikoi ; 

 " only one plant seen, grown in a garden," Fleming ! 



A weed of waste places in tropical Africa and South-East 

 Asia; occurs in America also, but perhaps not there indigenous. 

 The Minikoi specimen, which is from a garden, is the common 

 Black Dhatoora {D. fastuosa) , and though in most of the islands 

 it is clearly only a weed, it is not improbable that it has been 

 originally intentionally introduced. It should not be forgotten that 

 the species may be, and at times is, a bird-introduced one.
