Taxonomy Comments: A tetraploid species (2n=36) (Tippery et al. 2018). See Middleton et al. (2018) for detailed discussion of the occurrence of this species in our flora area and its taxonomic relationship and difficulty of determination from N. indica. Its seeds lack tubercles; however, which readily distinguishes it from N. indica.
