in this Magazine. It was separated from Anguria by 
Cogniaux, on account of the linear or narrowly triangular 
fleshy petals, which are shorter than the sepals, and erect 
or connivent. The petals of Anguria are membranous and 
suborbicular, and are much larger than the sepals. A good 
idea of the differences between the two genera may be 
obtained by comparing t. 5304, Anguria Warscewiczii, with 
the present figure.
