This is a very stately Arum, with the inflorescence almost sessile on the tuber ; and although it has a disagreeable 
smell, it is far less offensive than many of the other species. The spathe is very large ànd leathery, sometimes two 
feet long, hanging down from below the middle, and more or less trailing along the ground; the outer surface is of 
a livid purple colour, the inner is bright green, covered with innumerable dark purple, angular spots. Before 
expansion the heat at the bottom of the spathe is very considerable. The root is said to be a strong poison.

I have received this beautiful plant from the Sirmore and Gurwal alps, collected by Captain Webb, Dr. Govan, 
and Lieutenant Gerard. I found it myself on far less elevated mountains, near the valley of Deyra, in fruit, in April 
1825. In the Botanic Garden at Calcutta, where it was introduced by Lieutenant Gerard, it flowers in March. I 
believe with Mr. Bentham that it does not differ from Roxburgh's plant, discovered many years ago by my highly 
esteemed friend Major-General Hardwicke towards Srinaghur, and called by him in the Asiatic Researches, Vol. 6. 
p. 949. S. integrifolia (a name preoccupied by a Peruvian species). The name of $. cana, under which I trans- 
mitted specimens to the museum at the India House, and which I subsequently inserted in the Catalogue of 
Indian Plants (No. 2145.), as also that of the accompanying plate, must therefore be altered accordingly.
