This is an exceedingly beautiful plant, differing from all the East Indian species with which I am acquainted, in the 

 form of its leaflets, the milk-white hairs with which it is densely clad, and the elegant scarlet colour of the flowers. 

 I have only found it in arid, sandy situations about the Petroleum Wells near Yenangheun, somq miles inland from 

 the left bank of the Irawaddi. It was brought thence into the Calcutta garden, where it flowers and blossoms freely.

All the green parts emit a peculiarly unpleasant smell on being rubbed. The flowers are very small and incon- 

 spicuous ; but the vivid red berries, which are produced in great abundance, give the shrub an interesting appearance.
