Dr. Hooker, in publishing it in the Botanical Magazine^ 

 changed the name of asperula, which he was not aware was 

 one of Dr. Wallich's, into quadrangularis, because he could 

 discover no asperity to justify the former appellative. 

 We follow him in his alteration, as the minute asperity 

 which is visible in dried specimens is such as to be hardly 

 appreciable. 



A tender stove plant, easily managed in a damp, hot 

 atmosphere, and readily propagated by cuttings.
