We are informed by Dr. Watticu, in the work above 
Loted, that this fine shrub is a native of the hilly parts on 
€ borders of Bengal, about Silhet, whence it was intro- 
duced into the Botanic Garden at Calcutta, in 1815, by 
Mr. M. R. Smiru. 
“This shrub,” Dr.Wat1icu observes, “ is exceedingly ele- 
Sant, on account of its large round corymbs, which for 
eight months in the year are produced in constant succes- 
‘on. The colour of the flowers is a pale pink, gradually 
‘coming reddish as they grow old, beautifully contrasting 
With the shining dark green leaves.” There is in Roxburgh’s 
Flora Indica, a detailed description of the species.
