I have found this tree nowhere except at a place called Balajee, in the great valley of Nipal, where it attains a very 
large size. Together with Blackwellia spiralis, B. fætida (Ludia fætida Roxb.) and B. propinqua (a species found in 
Penang), our tree belongs to the same genus with Loureiro's Astranthus, according to the observations of the illus- 
trious author of the Botanical Appendix to Tuckey's Expedition to Congo. The three-celled anther of which 
Loureiro speaks, is nothing else than an ordinary bilocular anther, of which the globular cells are rather more distant 
towards the top than at the base, in consequence of a slight dilatation of the apex of the filament, giving the 
interstice somewhat the appearance of a third cell.
