I believe I shall not be considered as deviating materially from the original plan of this work, if I occasionally give 
a plate of a plant which, although published before, has not hitherto been figured. “The present and the preceding 
elegant plants are instances of this description, which will not often occur. I possess eight other species of this 
curious Melastomaceous genus, of which I am happy to announce that Mr. Brown has kindly undertaken to give a 
synopsis, in a work shortly to be presented by him to the world. | | 
I have nothing to add to the description of Sonerila squarrosa which I published in 1820 in Roxburgh's Flora 
Indica.

The accompanying plate represerits the plant which was introduced in 1815 into the Calcutta Garden from Sillet. 
That which grows in Nipal differs in some respect, having the leaves broader, of an ovate-cordate form, and in bein 
more villous. But as the flowers are exactly alike, and as the other Indian species vary considerably, I have thought 
it best not to add to the difficulties of the genus by separating the two shrubs. “The flowers are generally produced
