A handsome shrub. I have never met with it w ild, but in gardens 

 it is common, and grows readily from slips and cuttings ; it is in flow- 

 er during the wet season chiefly. I am told it is indigenous on the 

 Malay Islands.

 when kept cut, they are then more erect. Bark of the young parts 

 generally dark purple, and very smooth ; in some varieties green.—
