Has. In the South Concan, Bombay, rare. N. A. Dalzell, Esq. 
Sent, with many other rarities, from Concan, Bombay, by my 
valued correspondent, Mr. Dalzell. It is considered by that 
gentleman a new plant, and, as far as I can find, justly so. It 
would have ranked with Zchites, before the genera of Apocynacee 
had been remodelled by Don and Alphonse De Candolle ; yet it does 
not harmonize well with any genus in the ‘ Prodromus.’ I have 
provisionally placed it in Aganosma, but I am not sure that the 
stigma corresponds with that genus, and the hypogynous glands 
are 5, and distinct. The flowers, judging from the dried state, 
are green, tinged with purple. Though I have spoken of the 
plant as glabrous, yet the petioles are obscurely ciliated, and the 
pedicels are, when magnified, seen to be slightly downy.
