and fleshy, semiglobose, pale green, longitudinally striated and 
having five furrows, so that between the furrows the outer surface 
is very convex, corresponding with five depressions or cavities, 
within, which are more distinctly striated with longitudinal fine 
brown lines than the external surface: the /imé is broad, cut 
half-way down into five spreading ovate /obes, whose margins are 
recurved: the whole disc is pale green, beautifully striated con- 
centrically, with fine brown lines which meet and hence become 
reticulated. The staminal crown is adnate with the tube and has 
five spreading lobes or horns. Gynostegium small, conical.
