towards the upper part and flaccid. Spathe acuminate, rather 

 longer than the peduncles. Flowers several, white, fra- 

 grant, subbilabiately funnelform, about 6 inches long: 

 peduncles rounded ly 3-cornered, pale green, as thick as the 

 tube of the flower or thicker. Germen green, oblong, seve- 

 ral times shorter than the peduncle. Tube of the corolla pale 

 green, about the length of the segments, two or three times 

 thicker than a crow-quill, linearly elongated, 3-cornered, 

 closely scored: limb turbinately campanulate, nodding, 

 white, about three inches deep, yellowish within at the 

 faux, upwards recurved and spreading; segments lance- 

 olate, nearly equal, standing apart from near the faux, 

 three fourths of an inch broad or thereabouts, taper-pointed, 

 keeled and green along the middle at the back; two lower 

 side ones linearly lanceolate and rather narrower than the 

 rest. Filaments loosely fasciculate, first declined then as- 

 cending, whitish, about one fourth shorter than the limb, 

 filiform, 3 alternate ones longest, all slender. Style rather 

 longer than the corolla, of the same colour as the filaments 

 and nearly of the same thickness, obtusely 3-cornered, 

 fluted: stigmas three, very shallow.
