_ We received this singular plant at our Botanic Garden 
from Mr Mackay, nurseryman, Islington, to whom it was | 
sent from the Calcutta Botanic Garden. I have native speci- 
mens from Nepal, bearing the appropriate MS. name of Rwel- 
lia anisophylla of Wauuicu. The appearance of the plant 
is most singular for one of its natural family; one of each al- 
ternate pair of leaves being so small, as to be scarcely percep- 
tible; and the fully formed ones having no mecase rate re- 
semblance to those of a Celtis: | 
The flowers are large and handsome, and pésdinosd freely 
from the axils of the leaves in the months of September and 
October, i in the stove of our Botanic Garden.
