clavate (not inclined and tapered), the leaves much narrower, 
and not produced after the flower has faded, but in perfec- 
tion at the same time with it; and is on this account we 
believe different also from the Arum gramineum of La- 
marck's Encyclopédie. 
We know of no certain figure of fenuifolium subsequent to 
the cut we have cited from Clusius's work. 
The following is from the French of M. de Lamarck : 
Leaves appearing later than the flower, all upon the root, 
lanceolate, very like those of Viper's Grass (Scorzonera), five 
or ten inches long, smooth, tapering a little downwards, 
striding at the base. Stem exceedingly short, enveloped 
in a membranous sheath. Spathe terminal, long, taper- 
pointed, slightly recurved. Spadiz (receptacle of the flowers 
and fruit) long, slender, vermiform, taper-pointed, red, 
bending forwards out of the spathe. 
The fruit, according to Clusius, white and only just 
raised out of the ground. i 
Tenuifolium, gramineum (Russell), and gramineum 
(Lam.) have all of them undivided grassy leaves, though 
variously modified in éach species, and are all in so far 
anomalies in the genus.
