 tending across the whole continent, along the banks of slow btreams, in extensive 

 thickets, rising from stout contorted roots and from large, prostrate, root-like trunks,

 369) and Haviland (Joiu^n. Linn. Soc. xxxiii. 88) in regarding the American and 

 Asiatic tree as one species. The American specimens have a short calyx and a long 

 slender corolla, but so have specimens imm Assam.
