For the introduction of this most beautiful species of Bignomia, the Honourable Company's Botanic Garden is 
indebted to Charles Telfair, Esq. of the Mauritius, one of the most amiable and excellent of men, in whom during 
twenty years I have had the happiness of possessing an intimate and esteemed friend, whose name will always rank 
very high among the most liberal and most enlightened benefactors of Indian botany and horticulture. The tree is 
a native of the Mauritius, originally perhaps of Madagascar: in Bengal, where it thrives luxuriantly, it forms a 
small but truly ornamental tree, on account of its flowers and foliage, the former of which are exquisitely fragrant. 
It has also been introduced into the hothouses in England, but as yet, I believe, it has not flowered here.
