A native of Sylhet, whence it was introduced into the 

 Botanic Garden, Calcutta, in August 1822. With us it 

 forms a small bush in the stove, flowering in October. 

 Our drawing was made in the Garden of the Horticultural 

 Society in 1829. 



* Named after a Mr. James Justice, a person who was known us a^ 



Horticultural amateur at the end of the seventeenth century.
