Celestial Phenomena Jrom April 1. to July 1. 1827. 387 



This species was received from the Botanic Garden, Calcutta, under the 

 name here adopted, in 1823, its native country uncertain, probably Ne- 

 pal. It approaches nearly to E. echinata and E. vagans of Flora Indica ; 

 but is distinguished from the former by the oblique veins of the leaves, 

 and from the latter by its rooting stem, and probably by its spiny fruit, 

 though, as this has not yet ripened in the Botanic Garden, the appear- 

 ance of the germeji only can be stated.
