‘The flowers of this species of Lawrana, which is not re- 
corded in the Ca e of the Kew Garden, except that its 
name occurs in the Addenda at the end of the Epitome, is a_ 
native of the East-Indies, and makes a handsome stove shrub, 
The flowers grow in a umbel rather than a round head, as 
in many of the other species, those of the circumference being 
considerably longer in the tube than those nearer the centre, 
The leaves are rough on the upper surfaces and have a very 
strong smell like Ground-Ivy, but more sass This 
odour remained even after the specimen had 
than a year. 
Flowers from July to October. Our _— 
froma imen communicated 
of Arno’s-Grove, in the last-menti passwd in 1815, ra 
received it likewise from the Botanic Garden at Cambridge.
