This singular plant was sent into this country from Bengal by Dr. Roxburgh, and has lately 
flowered in the stove of the Right Honorable Charles Grenville, at Paddington. It will soon be 
very Common, for young plants are produced in abundance from the crenatures of the leaves. 
The Cotyledon Pinnata of Lamarck, in Encycl. Bot, v. 2. p- 141. which that author describes with 
yellow flowers, may possibly be another species; but though I have examined a specimen of this 
also, gathered by Ant. Hove, a Polish Gardener, in the Island of Johanna, and sent in spirits to 
Sir Joseph Banks, I cannot be absolutely certain about the matter, none of its flowers being 
sufficiently advanced.
