Mr. N. HE. Brown, whose knowledge of the Aroidee is 
extensive and profound, has been good enough to aid me 
in the comparison of this plant both with the species in 
the Gardens and Herbarium at Kew, and the descriptions 
of Schott and Engler, and we are reluctantly obliged to 
consider it undescribed. I have, therefore, given it the 
name of the indefatigable botanist who sent it to Kew, M. 
-Glaziou, the Director of Public Parks and Gardens at Rio 
de Janeiro. It belongs to the section Pachyneurum, of 
Schott, which in Engler’s ‘‘ Monograph of Aracee” contains 
about seventeen species, most of them natives of Hastern 
tropical America from Mexico to Guiana. One alone is 
described as Brazilian, the A. affine, Schott. It is a near 
ally of A. Glaziovii, but this differs in the terete knee at 
the top of the petiole, in the peduncle not being at all 
keeled, in the spathe not being produced into a long point, 
and in the spadix being attenuated upwards from the base, 
and not cylindric. 
A, Glaziovii was sent to Kew in 1880, with no note as to 
its exact habitat, which is only presumably Rio de Janeiro ; 
though as amongst M. Glaziou’s Brazilian contributions 
‘SEPT. Ist, 1885.
