Thank you so much This species was collected by some botanists on a few occasions in arid parts of Kachchh and Saurashtra of Gujarat. It has been entered into the list of threatened plants prepared by World Conservation Monitoring Center (WCMC, 1994).
The genus Schweinfurthia belonging to Scrophulariaceae, consists of three species distributed in Africa and India, of which Schweinfurthia papilionacea A. Br., commonly known as Sanipat or Nepalnimbo (Hindi) or Sannipat (Sanskrit), is occurring in India. Screening of published literature pertaining to floristic studies revealed that the distribution of this species is mainly confined to Afghanistan, Pakistan, (Beluchistan and Sind regions) and India (Gujarat and Rajasthan) (Hooker 1883, Cooke 1958, Bhandari 1990, Kirtikar & Basu 2001). Singh et al. (1991) reported the rare occurrence of this species in rocky habitats of West of Aravalli hills of Rajasthan. In Gujarat, the species was reported occasionally by Malhotra and Wadhwa (1973) from Jamnager district, Shah (1978) from Kachchh and Saurashtra, Rao (1983) from Kachchh and Anuradha Babu et al. (1989) from Saurashtra. Shah (1978) cited this taxon as ‘‘not common’’ in its occurrence at Gujarat. The species survives under extreme hot conditions of Little Rann of Kachchh. Very few individuals were noticed at Akota and Kariya bets near Nanda village during the month of March in flowering as well as fruiting condition.
