Apparently a very handsome plant. The stem before me is a foot high, 
and covered with ventricose leafy imbricated sheaths; the bracts are 3 
inches long and an inch: broad, and have been of some bright colour, 
probably pink ; they are so large as to form a spike like a head of hops, 
within which the flowers are concealed.

A beautiful species with leafy stems 2 feet high. The spike of flowers 
is from 3 to 4 inches long, and the flowers themselves as well as the 
bracts are stated to be yellow. The plant from Guatemala, for which I 
am indebted to Mr. Bateman, is said by Mr. Skinner to be tuberous ; and 
is remarkable for the bracts being nearly smooth instead of shaggy.
