This elegant species has been fully described by Sir J. E. Smith 

 in Exotic Botany, ii. p. 107- t. 113,* where Behar and Nepala are 

 stated to be its native countries. From the latter I have had nu-

 about Katumanda by my plant-collectors. — In the fourth volume 

 of the edition of Linuei Systema Vegetabilium by Dr. Roemer and 

 Schultes the plant has been described in two different places, un- 

 der the name of rotundifolia ; first in p. 159 (with an emendation 

 at p. 785) where p. 531 of Poiret's Suppl. to the Encyclopedic 

 Botanique is quoted instead of p. 550 ; and afterwards under the 

 section with sessile flowers, referring to a communication from 

 Mr. Lehman, who probably also had his knowledge of the plant 

 from the first mentioned work.

Densely covered with long silky hairs, creeping and sending
