REMARKS ON DISTRIBUTION AND TYPIFICATION This species, indigenous and widely cultivated in India, was found only once in Vietnam (d’Alleizette 2611 [ L]) growing in a hedgerow near Hanoi, possibly an escape from cultivation .
Although there are three collections in the Wallich herbarium ( K): Wallich Cat. 6692 A, B and D, Jeffrey (1980b) chose the above mentioned plate as the lectotype, apparently because no reference to Wallich’s collections was made in the original description by Roxburgh .
