“A large spreading shrub, growing on limestone rocks, with 
long drooping branches covered wdth a profusion of small white 
dowers, which scent the air far round, smelling of honey ; it 
affords dowers and fruit at the same time.’' This is a very dis- 
tinct species, remarkable for its glabrous, dark leaves, polished 
on both sides, with nearly immersed nerves and veins; the 
leaves are 2|-3J inches long, If-lf inch wide, on a petiole 
6-9 lines long. The ^ raceme is 3|-5| inches long, the alter- 
nate branchlets are 1 line long ; the ^ raceme is 5 inches long, 
the divaricated pedicels are 2-6 lines long; the putamen is 
5 lines long, 4^ lines broad. 
In the British Museum is a specimen which appears to me 
conspecidc with the plants from Moulmein : the leaves are 
similar in size and shape, equally polished, and on a petiole of 
equal length ; but they are of darker hue : the raceme is of 
similar length, and the doral structure in no way difiFerent. I 
have therefore considered it identical. On the label is written, 
in Dr. Buchanan’s handwriting, “ novum genus a Roxburghio 
Ziga Mushadie dictum, Tourrougmozeila,” which we may infer 
is its locality ; but where that is I cannot learn.
