You don't need to pass id, name ,class explicitly.

Just give some name as first argument it will set the id and name .

$editor =& JFactory::getEditor();
$params = array( 'smilies'=> '0' ,
                 'style'  => '1' ,  
                 'layer'  => '0' , 
                 'table'  => '0' ,
                 'clear_entities'=>'0'
                 );
echo $editor->display( 'n_description', '$your_string', '400', '400', '20', '20', false, null, null, null, $params );
