This is the plant that yields the blue dye called by the As- 

 samese " Eoom." Although the plant is indigenous, it is said 

 to he cultivated by the Assamese near their dwellings. It is also 

 cultivated by the tribes in the Mishmi hills. Dr. Braudis, Con- 

 servator of Forests, has sent me specimens of this plant from the 

 Karen hills, where it is cultivated for the dye obtained from it. 

 I also possess a specimen from Mr. Fortune, who says of it, "a 

 plant largely cultivated in the province of Cbekeang (China) for 

 the blue dye it produces." An examination of a very extensive 

 suite of specimens from Eastern Bengal and Burmah, as well as 

 of Mr. Fortune's Chinese plant, and of additional specimens sent 

 to nio by Dr. Hance, of Whampoa, enables me to identify my S. 

 Cltavipioni Avith ]N"ees von Esenbeck's plant.
