A cosmopolitan tropical weed of fields and waysides wbich also- 
not infi'equently occurs on sea-sbores growing among the ocean 
drift at high tide-mark, thus suggesting tire possibility of introduc¬ 
tion by the sea. The specimens from Kalpeni are probably referable 
to Clarke’s variety reticulata [Adenostemma reticulatvm DC. in 
Wight, Conti’ib. 8) ; they have ovate leaves (the largest being 
9“11 in. long and 3|-4 in. across), reticulate; the achenes are' 
elongate and sparsely warted. This variety is characteristic of 
South India and Ceylon. The Minikoi specimen has no leaves, but 
the achenes are precisely like those in the Kalpeni specimens.

A weed of cultivation, originally American, but now cosmopolitan 
in the tropics. Though so common in the Archipelago,, it is not 
recorded from any of the uninhabited islands which would indicate 
that its wide and rapid dispersal is due altogether to unintentional 
human action.
