Irawaddi, in the Burma country, where he collected some; 

 whereas, the specimens described in Flora Indica came 

 from Sylhet. 



Dr. Wallich's note in the Flora Indica is as follows : 

 In January, 1816, I received roots of this most charm- 

 ing species from Mr. Smith, at Sylhet, which produced 

 blossoms in the Botanic Garden, during October of the 

 following year. It differs from H. coronarium, in regard 

 to its flowers, which are about one-third smaller, having 

 the inner segments of the corolla linear-clavate, the fissure 

 of the lip narrow, with straight sides, and its base con- 

 tracted into a linear claw. They partake not only of 

 the yellow colour of those of Michelia Champaca, but 

 possess even the peculiar fragrance of the latter, only in 

 a less powerful, and therefore, more grateful degree. In 

 stature and leaves both species are alike."
