We copy the following account of the species from the 
Flora Indica of Roxburgh: 
* A handsome shrub. I have never met with it wild, 
but in the gardens it is common, and grows readily from 
“slips and cuttings; it is in flower during the wet season 
* chiefly. Tam told it is a, a in the Malay Islands.”
