This species, was introduced from Penang by Mr. Lewes, 

 Assistant Resident, in May, and flowered in July. It pos- 

 sesses no beauty. It is the smallest flowered species of 

 the genus I am acquainted with, and appears abundantly 

 distinct. It succeeds tolerably well when planted in mould, 

 freely mixed with pieces of broken pots.
