Pegu is presently Bago township (Hanthawaddy), Bago region. Taikkyii is Taikkyi township, Yangon region. Palon is probably a small village located in the area north to Taikkyii in the west of Pegu, Yangon region]. Taikkyii and Palon were formerly parts of Pegu region, now they belong to Yangon region. Therefore, the label of specimens collected by Fea gives the locality as Pegu (Taikkyii and Palon).</paragraph>
