Drawn last summer in the hothouse of the nursery of 
Messrs. Barr'and Brooks, Newington Green. - 
A species now first introduced from the East Indies, 
where it is said to be native of the Highlands on the N. E. 
confines of Bengal, and to have been sent from thence to 
the botanic garden at Calcutta, by Mr. R. Smith, in 1815. 
It was first taken up by Dr. Wallich, among the additions 
he is making to the “ Flora Indica” of Roxburgh, during 
the progressive publication of its volumes. Several well-pre- 
served samples are deposited in the Lambertian Herbarium, 
the rich stores of which are constantly accumulating under 
the arrangement of its diligent and intelligent guardian, 
Mr. Don. 
Rosea must not be confounded either with the pink 
variety of cuneifolia, or with that of coccinea (flammea of
