Leaves 12 — 14, blades about a foot long and three inches 

 broad, mining, and of a very deep green. Flowers fragrant, 

 vertical. Tube about two inches long, with the alternate angles 

 nearly obfolete ; fegments for nearly the length of the crown, 

 converging turbinately, then recurvedly deflected ; outer ones 

 narroweft ; crown three times fhorter than thefe. Stamens 

 rather fliorter than the fegments. Little ftrefs in fpecific dif- 

 tin&ion can be laid upon the finufes of the crown being entire 

 or toothletted, as we have frequently feen them vary infinitely 

 in the fame plant. 



In the courfe of this fummer we hope to communicate fome 

 further information concerning the Weft-Indian fpecies of 

 this genus. G.
