Roxburgh founded this speciea on specimens collected in the 
Northern Circars, but none of his original material is now extant. 
Specimens collected within recent years by Mr. J. S, Gamble in Gnnjam 
(which is practically Roxburgh's Northern Circars) dry of a very pale 
coloui*, and have narrowly oblong leaflets with a few short hairs on the 
nerves beneath. In shape and colour they are distinguished from
