Present collection from Naduvattam forest, near Ooty (Western Ghats), Nilgiri district, extended its distribution towards Norm Tamil Nadu. After Beddome's type collection, in 1857 it is for the first time this species is collected, after a lapse of 148 years from Tamil Nadu. This is also a new report from this district. The specimens have been compared with the specimens housed in Madras Herbarium, (MH), Coimbatore.
