We copy the following account of the species from the 
Flora Indica of Roxburgh : 
‘ 
** A handsome shrub. I have never met with it wild, » 
“ but in the gardens it is common, and grows readily from 
“slips and cuttings; it is in flower during the wet season 
“chiefly. I am told it is indigengas in the Malay Islands.”
