We have several in Kolk Bot garden and the Hort... The Agrihorticulture soc in Calcutta was apparently the first to get them from Burma... and supplied specimen to Kew... and the royal or peerage patrons... and then cuttings have been sent all over... even now we see many small bound up contraptions with mud and jute cloth and plastic for air-layering attempts... even those sometime fail... never can be propagated from seeds or almost impossible... though the young gardeners at the Hort try their best and often with seeds... and most likely Dr Gibson did not have one in his botanical garden in western India...
