Habit and foliage of 7. coronaria, but leaves often much larger, sometimes 10 by 
5 in, with more numerous and more spreading nerves; petiole very short. Cymes 
many-fld.; peduncle 1-4 in.; pedicels long, 4-1 in. Sepals 4 in. diam., obtuse or 
apiculate, sometimes cordate. Corolla-tube very slender, 3-4 in., swollen at the top ; 
limb 1 in. diam., lobes obovate, margins crisped, ovoid and acute in bud. Ovary 
ovoid, narrowed into the slender style, which is elongate, urceolate at the top, with a 
2-fid stigma. Follicles * 1 in., sessile, acute, recurved, ventrally 3-keeled, 3-6-seeded” 
(Roxburgh).—This species, which differs from all others in the remarkable calyx, has 
long been in confusion, and though cultivated in India from a very early period, it was 
only quite lately that its native country was known. This is the Andaman Islands, 
Beddome indeed says that it is common in the Western Ghats; but I have seen no 
specimens and suspect some error, Roxburgh accurately describes it, but strangely 
confounded it with T. alternifolia of Linnwus (Sp. Pl, 211). Under the latter plant 
(Fl. Ind. ii. 25) he quotes Linnaeus’ and Rheede's Curata pala, and says “ the leaves 
being in this opposite, made me change the Linnean specific name alternifolia for 
crispa, on account of its curled petals.” A glance at Rheede's figure of Curata pala, 
upon which Linneus founded his 7 alternifolia, shows that it has nothing to do with 
this, but is probably 7. coronaria. Kurz, also neglecting to refer to Rheede, restores 
the Linnean name of aliernifolia, and does not even refer to Roxburgh’s crispa, 
though his deseription perfectly agrees with that author's, Lastly, Linnsus and 
Roxburgh are both wrong in the citation of Rheede for Curata pala: it is part i. t. 47 
(Linneus say 45, and Roxburgh 46).
