Ceylon, south of the island, at no great elevation. Very similar to M. montana, but distinguished by its larger more acute leaves 
shorter peduncles and narrower petals ; both these species and M. Indica are all closely allied. 
Three other species are described in the Flora Indica, viz. Wallichiana, Eoxburghiana, and 7 nacrocarpa, all from Sikkim 
or Sylliet.
