This species of Arpvista is probably the finest of the 
whole genus, growing into a small tree, with large reflexed 
foliage, and bearing oval-shaped panicles of rose-coloured 
flowers at the extremities of the branches. These remain 
a long time in bud, and are perhaps handsomer in that 
State than when the flowers are fully expanded, being of a 
more intense colour before, than after, expansion. Like 
Most of the genus, as we are informed by Dr. Roxguren, 
it continues covered for a great part of the year with 
blossom and fruit at the same time. | 
We have never seen this plant any where but in the 
collection of the Comresse pe Vannes, at Bayeswater, where 
it came into flower for the first time in March last. _ 
Native of Chit in the East Indies. Requires to 
kept constantly in the stove.
