Knoxia wightiana and Knoxia hookeriana (no details) are also reported from the district as per Flora of Peninsular India, in addition to Knoxia sumatrensis.

Looks different from the GBIF specimen of Knoxia hookeriana- one and the publication at KNOXIA HOOKERI (RUBIACEAE): A NEW SPECIES FROM INDIA.

After going through the description and other details at Knoxia wightiana, I also think that it may be Knoxia sumatrensis only.
