 iMoxhwrgJi). — This species, which differs from aU others in the remarkable calyx, has 

 long been in confusion, and though cultivated in India from a very early period, it was 

 only quite lately that its native country was known. This is the Andaman Islands. 

 Beddome indeed says that it is common in the Western Ghats; but t have seen no 

 specimens and suspect some error. Roxburgh accurately describes it, but strangely 

 confounded it with T. alternifolia of Linnaeus (iSp. PI. 211). Under the latter plant 

 {Fl. hid. ii. 25) he quotes Linnaeus' and Eheede's Curata pala, and says " the leaves 

 being in this opposite, made me change the Linnaean specific name alternifolia for 

 crispa, on account of its curled petals." A glance at Eheede's figure of Curata pala, 

 upon which Linnaeus founded his T. alternifolia, shows that it has nothing to do with 

 this, but is probably T. coronaria. Kurz, also neglecting to refer to Eheede, restores 

 the Linnaean name of alternifolia, and does not even refer to Eoxburgh's crispa, 

 though his description perfectly agrees with that author's. Lastly, Linnaeus and 

 Roxburgh are both wrong in the citation of Eheede for Curata pala : it is part i. t. 47 

 (Linnaeus say 45, and Eoxburgh 46).
