This very pretty species seems well worthy of cultivation in our European gardens, as 

 it doubtless flowers annually. Until Oldham's specimens were received, all hitherto 

 known in herbariums were single branches of the panicle, and consequently the inflo- 

 rescence was supposed to be simply spicate. I think it is very probable that this ipeci< < 

 is one of Rumphius's varieties of Leleba.
