Hab. Madagascar. I have seen no specimens; nor had Blume, it would 
appear, seen any authentic ones, of the original plant ; and I strongly 
suspect that the discrepancies which he found between Lamarck's 
figure and the specimen he received from Paris, and which induced 
him to publish the latter as new, are owing to inaccuracies of the 
artist.

natis supra glabris subtus puberulis tomentosisve, racemis elongatis 
tomentoso-villosulis, floribus parvis glomeratis subsessilibus 5—6-meris,
