duous small leaves at the apex: partial ones about as long as the diameter of 
the head of flowers, usually shorter than the general one: tube of the calyx 
glabrous ; limb hirsute, segments clavate: corolla glabrous ; lobes spreading : 
anthers scarcely exserted: style long: stigma somewhat capitate: capsule- 
valves 4, splitting from the base upwards.—Rozb. Cor. 1. t. 54 ; fl. Ind. 1.

Cephalanthus chinensis, Lam., usually referred here, can scarcely be this 
species, We have been induced to quote Rheede's figure in this place, in- 
stead of considering it to be JV. Cadamba, Roxb. (N. orientalis, Roxb. in 
E. I. C. mus. tab. 907), from this reason, that in W. Cadamba the leaves are 
obtuse at the base, the flowers sweet-scented, and the lobes of the corolla 
erect; whereas, in Rheede’s plant, the leaves taper at the base, the flowers 
are inodorous, and the lobes of the corolla are spreading, as in IV. purpurea : . 
the only objection against our supposition may arise from the colour of the 
flowers being said by Rheede to be yellow ; but to counterbalance this, N. 
Cadamba is from Bengal, and not a native of the Peninsula.
