Of what part of India this is a native 1 cannot certainly say. 

 It has appeared in one of the nurseries in the Botanic garden 

 at Calcutta. The seed was most likely received accidentally 

 n ill) some other sorts. Here it flowers during the latter part 

 of the rains, and cold season.

 and smooth. Leaves petioled, digitate ; leaflets generally se- 

 ven, sessile, laneeolar, entire, smooth ; from one to two inches 

 long. Petioles slightly channelled, length of the leaflets. Pe- 

 duncles axillary, solitary, very slender (filiform), twisted, 

 pendulous, longer than the petioles, generally one-flowered, 

 rarely two or three, though three seems the natural numb r, 

 and the two lateral ones for the most part prove abortive, 

 Bractes few, and minute. Calyx; leaflets ovate, rugose on 

 the ontsides. Coral small, pale pink, with the bottom of the 

 bell deeper coloured. Stigma of two round lobes. 



Obs. A beautiful, delicate, though extensive plant, and un-

 erect on its thickened, curved apex.
