NOTE: Most of the Floras of the states of India have ambiguous listing of Ecbolium species - especially viride and ligustrinum. They have mixed up synonymies of each other. In almost all the earlier Floras, the listed taxon is Ecbolium linneanum Kurz - which is now synonym of Ecbolium ligustrinum var. ligustrinum. For instance, it is doubtful that viride is found growing naturally in Goa, Maharashtra and West Bengal.
