la cultivated land and gardens, general. 
In the Flora of British India Roxburgh’s P. repens is cited as 
equivalent to P. villosum and possibly Roxburgh included P. villosum

Roxburgh knew in the neighbourhood of Calcutta, which is also 
Voigi’s P. repens and is the grass known locally as chhota jalganti 
is P, prostratum, and P. prostratum only, admits of no dispute.
