 399. — A shrub or small tree, very common in Native gardens; 

 branches 4, square; leaves scabrous, deciduous in the hot season; 

 flowers delicate, white, with a deep orange tube, very fragrant. 

 They are used in dyeing. Believed to be a native of Arabia, but, if 

 we mistake not, it is mentioned in some of the most ancient books 

 of the Hindoos. Since writing the above, we recollect to have 

 seen it unmistakeably wild in the Satpoora Forests, near Arawud, 

 in Kandeish. The rough leaves are used to polish wood.
