We are informed by Mr. Robert Brown, that this fhrub 

 is a native of the ifland of Luconia, in the vicinity of Manila, 

 from whence it was introduced to the Kew Garden by Mr. 

 William Kerk. Justicia bicolor does not feem to have 

 been mentioned by any botanical writer ; the vincoides of 

 Lamarck and Vahl appears to approach the nearett to it, 

 but the leaves of this are defcribed as obtufe and only an inch 

 in length. 



Propagated by cuttings. In the bark-Hove it bloffoms the 

 greatefi: part of the fummer. Our drawing was taken from 

 a fine plant in the poffeflion of MelTrs. Whitley, Brame, 

 and Martin, of the Fulham Nurfery. 



Since the above article was fent to the prefs, we find that a 

 figure of this plant is juft published in the Botanift's Repolitory. 

 In the account there given, it is Hated that Mr. Milne raifed 

 it at Font- Hill, from Weft-Indian feeds. But having been 

 kindly [hewn the fpecimen fent by Mr. Kerr, from the Phi- 

 lippine Iflands, we are certain that the habitat above given is 

 the true one. It is mod probable, therefore, that Mr. An- 

 drews was mifinformed, and that the Royal Garden at Kew 

 is the veal fource from whence it has been derived.
