A native of various parts of the Indian Archipelago, 
where it inhabits the branches of trees: this species has 
long been known to Botanists from the figure given by 
Rumphius, and by specimens which travellers, attracted by 
its delicious perfume, have from time to time sent to Europe. 
Dr. Blume found it in Java, near Batavia, and on the 
coast of the little island of Nusa Kambanga ; and the late Sir 
Stamford Raffles met with it in Sumatra. Rumphius gives 
no locality for it, referring from the body of his work to a 
description in the Appendix or Auctuarium, where, how- 
ever, nothing is to be found except a back reference to the 
body of the work ; it is doubtless however an inhabitant of 
Amboyna. The specimen now figured was sent by Mr. 
Nightingale from Ceylon to his Grace the Duke of Northum- 
berland, in whose collection at Syon it flowered in August 
1837. 
According to Blume it varies with white and pink flowers, 
and with leaves more or less oblong and coriaceous. It is one 
April, 1839. I
