This tree was introduced into the Botanic garden from the 
Moluccas, in 1798. In ten years, they have grown to be 
trees of a large size, and blossom in September, 
Trunk very straight. Bark smooth, ash-coloured, Branches 
numerous, spreading in every direction. The wood is white 
and soft. Leaves alternate, petioled, broad-cordate, from 
three to five-nerved, entire, acuminate, of a very thin texture 
and smooth on both sides, from six to twelve inches long. 
Petioles nearly as long as the leaves, round, smooth, Sti- 
pules ensiform. Panicles terminal, roundish, ovate, large, 
and very ramous. Bractes ensiform, numerous, involucre- 
like, at the divisions of the panicles, Flowers very numer- 
ous, pretty large, of a pale, but lively rose-colour. Calyx five- 
leaved ; leaflets lanceolate, villous, nearly equal, almost twice 
the length of the corol, Petals five, unequal. The upper 
one incumbent, sub-cylindric, perforated lengthways. The 
next pair oblong, concave, pressing on the column of fruc- 
tification laterally. Lower pair also oblong, but expanding 
more ; all are inserted into the base of the column, .Vectary, 
a fivedobed ring round the base of the receptacle just with- 
in the insertion of the petals. Filaments five, broad, fleshy, 
inserted on the apex of the column round the germ, each 
slightly three-parted ; a slender, short, sterile filament, be- 
tween each of the large three-cleft ones, nthers fifteen 
pairs, one on each division of the five filaments. Germ supe- 
rior, ovate, hairy, inserted on the apex of the declined, cla- 
vate column, which is rather longer than the petals, Style 
longer than the stamens. Stigma of five acute points. Cap- 
sule inflated, membranaceous, turbinate, five-lobed, five-cell- _ 
ed, five-valved. Seed a single, small, round, tubercled one 
in each cell, attached to the middle of the inner margin of the 
partitions, obovate, somewhat tubercled. Integuments two. 
Perisperm thin, of a firm, tough, fleshy texture and pearl 
gray colour, Embryo conform to the seed, curved, pale
