Description : Cke. I.e. 



Locality : Konkan : Parel, Bombay Island (Woodrow).— A 7 ". Kanara : Kala- 

 nudi (Woodrow). 



We doubt the occurrence of this species in the Bombay Presidency. 

 Woodrow gives two localities, but neither Cooke nor we have seen his speci- 

 mens. Lisboa (Journ. Bom. Nat. Hist. Soc. v (1891), 8) calls this plant 

 common all over Bombay. If it is really common it is strange that we should 

 never have met it. 



Distribution : W. Peninsula.

 f. in F.B.I, vii (1896), 77, sub speciebus indeterminab . ; Cke. ii, 1004.

 rainfall 270 inches (Sedgwick & Bell 4508 !), common on the Mahableshwar 

 Hills (Dalzell & Gibson, Woodrow, Cooke) ; Panchgani, very common on the 

 Tablelands (Blatter 3797 !, McCann !). 



Distribution : W. Peninsula ; so far endemic.
