That which we have adopted, in conformity with the 
Hortus Kewensis, is derived from a trivial feature in the 
anthers ; the other is bestowed in compliment to one of the 
Counts Harrach, who is said to be a great encourager of 
Botany in Austria, where he resides. Both the botanists 
had, however, neglected to insert among its generic cha- 
racteristics, the feature which is chiefly relied on to keep 
the genus asunder from Rvetria, viz. the unilocular anthers. 
Indeed one of them has not even noticed it in his general 
description. ‘his omission has been supplied by Mr. 
Brown in the character we have prefixed to the present 
article. In the closely kindred genus ApHeranpra, the 
anthers are likewise unilocular, but the corolla is bilabiate, 
not one-lipped, asin this. 
Our shrub, we are told, has not exceeded the height of 
two feet in any european collection. The bark on the stem 
is greyish, on the branches, which are all axillary, green. 
_ The spikes terminal, numerous, imbricate, and quadran- 
gular as in so many species of this natural order. The co- 
rollas about an inch and half long, of an opaque salmon- 
colour, more or less deep, sometimes approaching to ver- 
million. 
Native of the East Indies. Introduced by Dr. William 
Roxburgh, about the year 1800: according to whom it 
flowers the. year round in the Bengal-Gardens, and becomes 
a pretty large shrub. — 
With us a stove-plant; propagated by cuttings. When it 
has several branches, and the spikes terminating these are 
completely in bloom, it is certainly very ornamental. 
The drawing was made at Messrs. Whitley, Brames, and 
Milne’s nursery, King’s Road, Parson’s Green.
