Now first introduced by Messrs. Colvill, of the Chelsea 
Nursery, from the East Indies; where it grows, according 
to Dr. Roxburgh, in the country about Dacca; from 
whence seeds were sent by the late Colonel Peter Murray 
to the botanic garden at Calcutta, in which the plant suc- 
ceeds and ripens its fruit. 
« Vahl's figure of Ixora parviflora (symb. bot. 3. t.52.)
