men, sent us in July last, by Roserr Barcuay, Esq. of 
Berry-Hill, who raised it from seeds received from China. 
‘The leaves in the specimen were not near so large as in 
Mr. Grevitxe’s plant, from which our drawing was taken. 
The male flowers, for the most part, grew two, or three, 
from the same axil, and the female flowers solitary, contrary 
io what is seen in the drawing ; but sometimes both a male 
and female flower grew from the same axil. 
In Dr. Ka@nie’s manuscripts, in the possession of Sir 
Joseph Banks, we find the description of a species of 
Phyllanthus, with the name of turbinatus affixed to it. It 
is a native of the East-Indies, and if not the same species as 
the one now treating of, is very nearly allied to it.
