‘Descr. After the excellent figure and description of the 
female of this plant, given in a former number of the 
present work, I need only confine myself to an account of 
the Male flowers and of the fruit, im order to render our 
: description complete, of this highly interesting vegetable ; 
and this I am able to do, from having received from Mr. 
Tetrarr, dried specimens of the flower; a fully formed, but 
Scarcely ripe fruit, in spirits ; several ripe seeds ; and a beau- 
Uful series of drawings, from the pencil of Mrs. Texrarr. 
hese drawings were all made in 1826, from plants, culti- 
vated at Bois Chery, one of Mr. Texrarr’s estates in the 
Mauritius. Na . ae
