Taxonomic uncertainty

This article was written at a time when all the southern Indian specimens were treated as species T. petiveriana. Given that the type is from Sri Lanka, all notes on the Indian specimens treated under this name are in question. Until this is better resolved, it is best not illustrated with any photos from India.
