better with what I have always considered to be his parvi- 
flora, and which is so labelled in Sir Joseph Banks’s Her- 
barium. They differ in the following respects: That Ixora 
parviflora is à tree, this a shrub; in that the leaves are 
linear-oblong with a cordate base, of a much firmer tex- 
ture, and more polished; in this they taper for two thirds 
of their length to the base (hence the specific name cunei- 
folia). In that the segments of the calyx are short and 
obtuse; in this long and acute. In that the berries are 
round and black; in this short-turbinate and red. The 
corymbs also differ somewhat. In both species the flowers 
are white, but in this much larger." Roxb. l. c. 
Requires to be cultivated in the hothouse. The blossom 
is delicately fragrant. 
The specific identity of our plant has been determined 
by collation with Dr. Roxburgh's samples in the Lam- 
bertian Herbarium. The name of the species does not 
seem very happily selected. 
* Trunk short, branches upright. Leaves short petioled, 
broad, cuneate, lanceolate, recurved, taper, obtuse-pointed, 
firm, polished, somewhat bullate; 4-6 inches long, 13-2 
broad. Flowers very numerous, crowded, white, with a 
very slight tinge of red on the outside, fragrant. Berry 
round, turbinate, size of a small cherry, when ripe of a 
bright red." Roxb. l. c.
