Description

Watercolour illustration commissioned by William Roxburgh. ROX1868.
In his 'Flora Indica', Roxburgh describes this species as an arboreous and elegant plant, with a straight trunk and diverging branches. He also writes: '...is a native of the eastern hilly and mountainous provinces of Bengal, from Tippera it was introduced by Mr Stephen Harris into the Botanic garden, where it blossoms in March and ripens its seed in July'.
Roxburgh, 'Flora Indica' (1832) v.2, p.658.
