It is doubtful whether J acq u i n *s Ep i d e n d r u m carthagenenfe 

 belong to this fpecies or not, otherwife his name would have 

 been retained. 



We have no doubt but that the fynonym of Sloan e is pro- 

 perly placed here, as is done by Swartz, though applied 

 by Jacquin to his altijjimum t which refembles in many refpefts 

 our plant, but is fufficiently diftinct, as we are fatisfied from a 

 careful comparifon of our drawing with Jacquin's original 

 fpecimen in the Bankfian Herbarium. 



It flowered in May laft, as we fuppofe, for the firft time in 

 this country, throwing up a branched fcape about two feet 

 in length. Is a native of the Weft-Indies, and mud be kept 

 conftantly in the ftove.
