Was raised from seeds which had been received from India by the 

 Glasgow Botanic Gardens; but this, of course, does not prove that the 

 species is indigenous to that country. Sometimes the corolla has six 

 lobes by excess, and, in that case, there are five fertile stamens of un- 

 equal length and a rudiment of a sixth.
