the corolla : these seem,, however, to be wanting in our 

 present plant, which, as far as we observed, has only the five 

 fertile stamens opposite to the segments of the corolla, as in 

 the generality of this order and the Primulacece. The tube of 

 the corolla is bell-shaped, and the segments of the limb rolled 

 back laterally, so as to give it the form of a Catherine wheel. 

 In the botanic garden at Calcutta, we are informed by Dr. 

 Roxburgh, plants eight or ten years old grow into a small 

 tree with a trunk the thickness of a man's thigh The berries, 

 according to the same author, are inferior, crowned with the 

 persistent calyx, round, smooth, dry, the size of a grain of 

 black pepper, one-celled, many-seeded, and without valves. 

 The flowers are produced there in February, March, and 

 April ; in Mr. William Kent's stove at Clapton, to whom 

 we are obliged for its communication, it flowered in Novem- 

 ber. Native of Chittagong.
