Centranthera indica (L.) Gamble , Fl. Madras 971 1924. (syn: Capraria rigida Buch.-Ham. ex Hook. fil.; Centranthera brunoniana Thw.; Centranthera hispida R. Br.; Centranthera procumbens Benth.; Digitalis stricta Roxb.; Razumovia hispida Britten; Razumovia indica (L.) Alston; Rhinanthus indicus L.) as per efi thread;
. India, Sri Lanka, Nicobars (North Nicobars, Great Nicobar Isl., Little Nicobar Isl.), Australia (Western Australia), peninsular Malaysia (once from Selat Panchur, Langkawi Isl.), Myanmar [Burma] (Mandalay, Taninthayi), Malesia, Indonesia, Indochina as per Catalogue of life;
.
After detailed study the only main difference that I found between two is the length of Corolla which is much longer in C.indica (2-2.5cms long) than C.cochinchinensis var. nepalensis (1.5cms long) .
Also the matured plants of C.cochinchinensis var. nepalensis can remain as small as to 5cms whereas the plants are larger (more than 10cms) in C.indica.
Moreover C.indica is much widespread species reported from South India to Australia while C.cochinchinensis var. nepalensis only occurs near the Himalayas.
