there ; the two plants first introduced by Captains Welbank 

 and Rawes were obtained from the garden of Consequa, a 

 Chinese merchant ; it had not before been noticed by any of 

 the collectors who had visited Canton. Plants of it have 

 since been brought home in different years for the Horticul- 

 tural Society, and a drawing made in China in 1821, of a 

 branch in flower, is in the collection of the Society. 



It was to be expected that this handsome shrub would 

 attract the attention of our different periodical publications. 

 A figure of it first appeared in the Botanical Magazine, tab. 

 2083, from a specimen supplied by Mr. Turner, on its first 

 blossoming in 1819. In 1822 it was figured in the Botanical 

 Register, tab. 650, from the plant in Mr. Lee's Nursery. In 

 the succeeding year, 1823, Messrs. Loddiges published it in 

 the Botanical Cabinet, tab. 773, from their own plant. Another 

 figure of it has lately appeared in the Flora Conspicua, tab. 

 46, the drawing for which was made from Mr. Palmer's 

 Conservatory.
