Not illustrated. 1870 Excerpt: ...from the India House, I have described it from my specimens of Mohr Madow. If I did not name Mohr Madow as Carter's plant, certain as it is that it is the same species as his Arabian plant, on this being indisputably determined by the receipt of new specimens, it would become absorbed in Mohr Madow under its systematic name, and Carter's connexion with his own discovery would be lost sight of1.
