AEscHYNANTHUS Javanicus. Hort. Rollinson. 
Messrs. Rollinson, of the Tooting Nursery, obligingly sent 
us the accompanying very handsome Mschynanthus, under the 
name of @. Javanicus, received by them, we presume, from 
their Collector in Java. At first sight it bore so much resem- 
blance to the Z. pulcher, De Cand.,.figured at our Tab. 4264, 
that I was disposed to consider it a variety ; but as that happened 
to be in flower at the same time in the stove of the Royal 
Gardens, the differences were found to be too striking to allow it 
to be other than a good species. The plant is more compact, 
the leaves smaller, the flowers all over downy, as well as the 
pedicels, the calyx truly cylindrical (not swollen below), the 
limb spreading, the corolla more slender and graceful, the 
Stamens exserted. 
Descr. A scandent, yet compact-growing, soft-stemmed shrub, 
much branched and rooting from beneath the petioles. Stems 
terete ; the younger ones green and succulent. Leaves opposite, 
ovate or oval, sometimes approaching to oblong, between coria- 
ceous and fleshy, obscurely angulato-dentate, penninerved, the 
herves sunk in the substance of the leaf. Corymbs terminal, of 
many, large, handsome, richly-coloured flowers. Pedicels downy, 
bracteated, bracteas ovate or cordate, unequal. Calyx ample, 
greatly wider than the tube of the corolla it includes, downy,
