The generic character now given has been formed by Mr. 
Brown, so as to include Arres paniculatum, published 
provisionally by that generic name in our third Volume 
(fol. 220); but now it will be seen that this species is not 
a very close congener of the one before us. The Cympi- 
DIUM tessellatum of Roxburgh is not included in the present 
genus. 
Mr. Brown had some scruples in not ranking the group 
under Anaracum of M. Du Petit-Thouars (of which a 
species is given in voy. de Bory de St. Vincent. 1. 359. tab. 
19.), not being able from want of sufficient detail in the 
description of the structure of the parts of that genus, to 
decide satisfactorily, whether he ought to do so or not; and 
has at last been determined principally by the Zabel in An- 
erzcum being undivided and probably membranous, while 
in Vanpa it is three-lobed and fleshy. He expects that 
several species of Swartz's genus Limoporum will be found 
to rank under the present. 
This beautiful parasitic plant was imported by Sir 
Joseph Banks, and flowered last autumn in the hothouse at 
Springrove, now belonging to Lady Banks. It is common 
in most parts of Bengal, and grows on various trees, but
