Chillie. 
Akati; as a weed, Fleming ! 
Cultivated throughout India and Malaya, probably originally 
Malayan. 
This species is extremely apt, in the warmer valleys of the 
Himalaya and in hot moist localities like the Andamans and 
Nicobars, to escape and become, as it has become here, a weed 
of waste places. It is nevertheless doubtless a plant originally 
intentionally introduced into the Laccadives.

Ameni; frequent, Hame. Anderut ; AZcocA;. Akati; occurs pretty 
frequently and is not cultivated, Fleming! Kiltan; only met with 
one plant about 100 yards from the shore,” Fleming! Minikoi; 
“only one plant seen, grown in a garden,” Fleming! 
A weed of waste places in tropical Africa and South-East 
Asia; occurs in America also, but perhaps not there indigenous. 
The Minikoi specimen, which is from a garden, is the common 
Black Dhatoora {D. fastuosa), and though in most of the islands 
it is clearly only a weed, it is not improbable that it has been 
originally intentionally introduced. It should not be forgotten that 
the species may be, and at times is, a bird-introduced one.
