From the collection of Messrs. Rollison, Tooting, who imported 
this very charming species of Jvora from Java, and with whom 
it blossomed in March 1851. It is handsome in the rich coral 
colour of the branches, in the full green of its copious foliage, 
and in the large corymbs of orange-scarlet flowers. The Z. Java- 
nica of Paxton, Mag. of Bot. v. 14. p. 265, is very different from 
this, and not Blume’s plant. 
Dzscr. A shrub, glabrous in every part, with compact 
branches, which are rounded, and the younger ones at least of 
a rich coral colour. eaves four to five or even six inches 
long, between coriaceous and membranaceous, ovate-oblong, acute 
or acuminate, entire, penninerved, and acute or more or less 
attenuated at the base, where it gradually passes into a short 
petiole, not a quarter of an inch long. Stipules from a broad con- 
nate and therefore amplexicaul base, terminating suddenly in a 
long cuspidate spine-like point. Corymé terminal, large, on a long 
peduncle, which, as well as the trichotomous branches, are deep 
coral-coloured. Calye almost turbinate, with two small dracteoles 
at the base: the /imé of four, erect, rounded, obtuse /obes. Tube 
of the corolla an inch and a half long, slender filiform, red: Amé 
an inch across, deep orange-red, the /odes horizontally patent, 
obovato-rotundate. Anthers linear, when perfect lying at the 
JUNE lst, 1851.
