Bengal plant, and the original ticket on his type specimen is marked Assam. Bentham, however (in Fl. Hongk. 266), says this was an error, and that this type specimen came from the Calcutta Botanic Garden ; but it is not known how Bentham discovered this. Nees, however, is in error in citing Roxburgh\u2019s Justicia chinensis, for Roxburgh\u2019s Ic. Ined, proves this to have been the true plant, long cultivated at Calcutta.
