Description

Watercolour illustration commissioned by William Roxburgh. ROX1219.
In his 'Flora Indica', Roxburgh notes that 'an erect, thinly branched shrub, was found at Chittagong by Dr. Buchanan, and from thence sent to the Botanic garden at Calcutta in 1798, where it blossoms in March, and the seeds ripen in May.' There appears to be no original numbered drawing, however, this unnumbered drawing is almost identical with the illustration t.237 from Roxburgh's 'Plants of the Coast of Coromandel'.
Roxburgh, 'Flora Indica' (1832) v.1, p.547.
