 Dr. Roxburgh in his ' Flora Indica ' (ii. 3/7) states this plant to be a 

 native of Coromandel. Messrs. Wight and Arnott also quote Coromandel 

 on the authority of Dr. Berry, "who sent it in 1807 to the Botanical 

 Garden at Calcutta." They observe no one appears to have found it but 

 Dr. Berry. I consider this alleged Indian station to have originated in 

 some garden mistake {vide supra, p. 11). It is well represented in Dr. Rox- 

 burgh's Collection of Drawings (fig. 2242). 



b. Stamina circa 16, irregulariter polyadelpha ; ovula saepius geminata.

The ovary seems normally bilocular, with a pair of ovules in each cell ; 

 when trilocular, one cell is uniovulate. Of Sclerostylis venosa (Champ. 

 Hook. Journ. Bot. & Kew Misc. iii. 327, and Seemann, Voy. Herald, 369), 

 I have seen only very imperfect specimens. I think it safest to consider 

 it a variety of A. Hindsii, differing in the elliptical, venose leaves, obtuse at 

 the base, and the calyx 5-merous or 4-merous.]

I have seen specimens from both East and West Indies, northern states 



of South America, and India, but probably all from cultivated plants. It 



would appear to be a Chinese species, but I have not seen native specimens.]
