To the description which I have given in the Flora Indica I shall add the following extract of an account by the 
late Mr. Jack, contained in the second volume of the interesting, but unfortunately very scarce, Malayan Miscellanies, 
of which the botanical papers will be successively inserted in the excellent and valuable Botanical Miscellany of 
Professor Hooker. 
“The F. auriculata is a large shrub, and from the size of its flowers is the most splendid of the genus. I originally 
met with it at Singapore, but have since found it also at Tappanuly. ‘The following particulars may be added to the 
description given by Dr. Wallich. Flowers terminal, generally three, rarely five, on short thick pedicels; each 
embraced by four opposite bracts, of which the outer two are the smallest. Corolla very large, yellowish white. 
Stamina inserted near the bottom of the tube. Stigma large and flattened. Ovary 2-celled, polysporous ;: the edges 
íf placentæ revolute. Fruit as large as a duck's egg, acuminated by part of the persistent style; seeds numerous, 
nidulant.”
