Description

Watercolour illustration commissioned by William Roxburgh. ROX1844. In his 'Flora Indica', Roxburgh reports this plant is 'a native of the Molucca Islands, and from thence [it was] introduced into the Botanic garden at Calcutta in 1798, where in ten years the largest of them was twenty-five or thirty feet high; they blossom during the hot season, and ripen their fruit in August and September.' Roxburgh, 'Flora Indica' (1832) v.2, p.416.
