This plant does not appear to have been collected in a wild state since Hamilton’s 
time. In his Hortus Calcuttensis (1.¢.)° Voigt states that it was collected in Chitta- 
gong and was introduced into the Botanical Garden, Calcutta, in the year 1810. In 
the Botanical Garden it is still cultivated; but collectors from: this garden sent to 
Chittagong district for the: express purpose of re-collecting some of the lost species of 
Roxburgh quite failed to find any traces of this one, N either has any yeahs of 
it been received from the Purnea district. |
