This beautiful shrub is a native of the Silhet district, where 

 it is called Toogee. Flowering time, the cold season. 



Stem erect, or nearly so ; branches round and smooth, and 

 while young, swelled just above the insertion of the leaves ; 

 whole height from two to four feet. Leaves opposite, petiol- 

 ed, lanceolar, (that is tapering equally at each end) entire, 

 acute, smooth ; from three to six inches long, and one or two 

 broad. Flowers numerous, large and rosy, collected in nu- 

 merous terminal, clammy, fascicles of from two to four each, 

 and embraced by numerous, en-ilium, elanuny bractes, like 

 a common calyx, and longer than the proper perianths ; the 

 whole forming a pretty huge panicle at the end of each 

 branch. Calyx five-parted; segments ensiform, smooth. 

 Corol ; tube long, slender, curved outward, and like my J. 

 speciosa, fatebrosa, &c. has a half twist ; whieh, as in the or- 

 chidea, brings the lower lip uppermost. Border bilabiate, 

 lips nearly equal, oblong ; the superior, in its inverted state, 

 three-toothed ; inferior entire. Filament s from the mouth of 

 the tube of the corol, shorter than the lips, and projecting 

 straight over the under one. Anthem double, one at the end 

 of the other, forming one straight line ; the exterior half of the 

 posterior one being attached to the apex of the filaments, and 

 to the base of the exterior anther.
