Catalogue of life <http://www.catalogueoflife.org/col/details/species/id/dfa206ec73043c8d7b409833f6b73c5b> gives three subspecies out of which two are found in India, as per below: *Xenostegia tridentata* subsp. *angustifolia* (Jacq.) J. Lejoly & S. Lisowski <https://mail.google.com/col/details/species/id/064ac2cb88ecca6d97d71d7bdabc0456> (Saudi Arabia (Asir), South Africa (Limpopo, North-West Prov., Gauteng, Mpulamanga, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, N-Cape Prov.), Swaziland, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, Angola, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Central African Republic, Cameroon, Congo (Brazzaville), Guinea-Bissau, Gabon, Chad, Sudan, South Sudan, Sao Tome, Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Ethiopia, Comores (Mayotte, etc.), Madagascar, peninsular Malaysia, Indochina, trop. Asia, *India, Sri Lanka*, China, Hongkong, Taiwan, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Sulawesi, Philippines, Lesser Sunda Isl., Moluccas, New Guinea, Australia, Palau Isl. (I) (Babeldaob (I)))
*Xenostegia tridentata* subsp. *tridentata* <https://mail.google.com/col/details/species/id/20117770c72ea9f6ed0ff35b430ea3ac> (China (Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Yunnan), Taiwan, Cambodia,* India (Bengal), Bangladesh*, Indonesia, Laos, *Myanmar [Burma] (Mandalay, Taninthayi, Yangon), *New Guinea, Singapore, *Sri Lanka*, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia (Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland), Puerto Rico (I), peninsular Malaysia, Borneo (Natuna Isl., Anambas Isl.), Sumatra (Bangka Isl.), Sulawesi, Moluccas (Aru Isl.), Lakshadweep Isl.

Based on the distribution, our observations at Xenostegia tridentata <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/cl/convolvulaceae/xenostegia/merremia-tridentata> may be of *Xenostegia tridentata* subsp. *angustifolia* (Jacq.) J. Lejoly & S. Lisowski <https://mail.google.com/col/details/species/id/064ac2cb88ecca6d97d71d7bdabc0456> I will correct our page, after getting feedback in this regard, if any. Can anybody give the distinction between the two subspecies ? -- With regards, J.M.Garg 'Creating awareness of Indian Flora & Fauna' <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmgarg1> Winner of Wipro-NFS Sparrow Awards 2014 for efloraofindia <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/award-for-efloraofindia>.
