From Otaheite the seeds were sent by the Missionaries to 
- the Botanic garden at Calcutta, where in two or three years, 
the plants they produced were ten or twelve feet high, with 
a perfectly straight trunk to the very top, amply decorated 
with long, spreading branches down to the ground, All the 
tender parts rather sparingly clothed with whitish stellate 
hairs, on the base of the middle nerve is a long gland under- 
neath ; the leaves next the flowers are generally entire, and 
lanceolar, all are obtuse pointed, even the lobes, The inner 
calyx in this species is strongly marked by having ten seg-. 
ments, they are alternately smaller, and the capsule is ten- 
celled, or rather has five double cells, as in Geertner’s H. 
tiliacens, the flowers are large, bright yellow, with a deep 
purple coloured bottom ; they appear during the cold seasou
