A very handsome Iromaa, a native of the banks of the 
Plata, for our first knowledge of which we are indebted to 
the Hon. and Rev. Wini1am Hersert of Spofforth, who 
raised it from seeds sent by Mr. Coorer. It has again been 
transmitted in the year 1836, by Mr. Tweepie, from the 
same country, to the Glasgow Botanic Garden, where it 
blossomed in great perfection in the stove, in the month of

Descr. The stem, as is'so common in this genus, is

the two lower ones again divided, the lowest segments 
smaller
