A West Indian species, introduced by Mr. Eleock in 

 1791. — Drawn at tte Bayswater collection belonging to 



Comtesse des VandesJ 



A genus detached and defined by Mr. Brown, who dis- 

 tinguishes it from other genera of the same division, by 

 a label nearly of similar shape and dimensions as the rest 

 of the petals of the corolla (distinct from each other), and 

 four parallel pollen-masses. 



Two species are known in our gardens. 



We had no opportunity of examining the flowers ; and 

 refer to the annexed figure.
