Imported from Cuba by George Barker, Esq. A very 
beautiful plant, allied both to O. carthaginense and luridum, 
from both which it is said to be distinguished by many cha- 
racters. The flowers are bright yellow spotted with crimson, 
as in O. guttatum.

A native of the Organ mountains, from Mr. Willmore's 
collection. Nothing further is said about it. 
48. SPIRONEMA fragrans. 
A. Mexican herbaceous plant, introduced by Mr. Barker, 
with something of the appearance of a Sanseviera, but very 
fragrant, has lately flowered with Messrs. Lowe and Co. of 
Clapton. As a detailed account of it will be given very soon 
in this work, with a figure, it is only necessary now to men- 
tion the circumstances by which it is distinguished from other 
genera of Commelinacez to which it belongs. Sepals green, 
scale-like, rather larger than the petals, which are trans- 
parent and very delicate. Stamens six, equal, with spiral 
filaments, and cordate petaloid anthers, bearing their cells 
transversely upon the base. Ovary three-celled ; ovules hori- 
zontal, globose, one above the other ; stigma simple. |
