De Candolle, who described this plant in the Prodromus, from specimens brought 

 to Europe by Leschcnault, gives Bengal as the locality ; but these specimens were 

 doubtless collected in the Calcutta garden, where the plant has long been cultivated. 

 We have not seen the fruit, which, however, is described and figured by WaHich,

There is only one specimen of this plant in the British Museum, bin, it st-cm* 

 so unlike anything else we have seen that we have no hesitation in describing it as 

 distinct. As we have not examined the flowers, we have only the general appearance 

 to guide us in referring it to Uvaria. It is evidently a climber, and the specimen 

 exhibits a less woody appearance than is usual in the Order, being an elongated, soft 

 shoot, with few and distant leaves.
