Entirely naturalised in the Mauritius, in Tropical India, etc. 
In Serampore and its neighbourhood it is one of the worst 
weeds.” Not mentioned by Roxburgh, which, considering that 
it is now exceedingly common in Sibpur, is very remarkable. 
Mr. Burkill has kindly given me the following wddiiitand inform- 
ation. He states that he believes that this plant has but 
recently arrived in Northern Bengal; thus in 1906 Tridax 
procumbens was only sparingly found ais. the railway lines 
near Jalpaiguri; in 1908 there was abundance of it by tie bridge 
over the Murti River on the newer branch of the Bengal Duars 
Railway, but it appears to be still generally absent from the 
Duars and evidently a relatively new arrival even at Jalpaiguri.
