NOTE: The correct identity and occurrence of Trichosanthes tricuspidata Lour. and T. bracteata (Lam.) Voigt in India have been revisited based on herbarium and field studies. The study concludes that T. tricuspidata and T. bracteata are two distinct species and the former does not occur in India. All the mainland Indian materials previously identified and reported as T. tricuspidata Lour. or T. palmata Roxb., belong to T. bracteata (Lam.) Voigt ... Pandey, Savita & Rana, Tikam & Nair, K.. (2016). Revision of the Trichosanthes tricuspidata - bracteata complex (Cucurbitaceae) in India. 26. 83-93.
