In all tbc provinces, but nsnally only near eettlementa, DiSTRfEf, 
British India, Ceylon, and most tropical cotmtitcs, 
A form of this with rather small and ob-deltoid capsules lias been 
kept up as a species by some authors under the name 0. mici'ocm-pnmt 
H. B. K. ; but, as there are innnmeruble gradations from tlie globular 
Cfipsulo besides much difference in size, I do not consider that it deserves 
even vaHetnl rank. Tho allied spedes 0. canesce7iSt Wall, grows in the 
south of India and in Buimali alon^ with this, but is always dia- 
iinguishable by its more bluntly lobed leaflets canescent beneath.
