270 WITSENIA CORYMBOSA. 
Our drawing was made from a plant which flowered in the greenhouse at 
Chatsworth about September last. 
The generic name is given in honour of Mr. Witsen, a Dutch consul in India, 
a lover and patron of botanical science. 
The specific name implies that the flowers are produced in corymbs, that is, a 
kind of raceme or panicle, in which the lower flowers have stalks longer than those 
of the upper, by which all the flowers are brought nearly on the same level.
