This shrub when in flower is one of the greatest ornaments which the Calcutta Garden possesses ; the flowers 
being very large, of a dark purple colour, tessellated with black square spots, and opening in pocession nearly all 
the year round. It approaches closely to Uvaria purpurea of Dr. Blume, figured and described in the Flora Jave of 
that most eminent botanist; a work which for splendour of execution and for scrupulous accuracy of detail is second 
to none that has ever appeared on botanical subjects.

This is a very large, extensively rambling or climbing shrub. When growing near a tree it ascends by means of 
stout horizontal branchlets, which extend parallel and close to each other, alternately embracing the trunk once or 
twice, and thus aiding to lift up the larger branches. The flowers are very elegant, but much smaller than those 
of the preceding species. The leaves are large and handsome ; when rubbed they emit a not unpleasant, slightly 
aromatic smell, which is generally present also in the other members of the tribe to which this shrub belongs. The 
pulp of the berry is more aromatic than that of the fruit of Uvaria grandiflora. `
