from glands, having three principal nerves; one in the cen- 
tre of the leaf, which terminates in a reflexed mucro within 
the sinus; the others running up the middle of each lobe. 
Petiole scarcely an inch long, destitute of glands, with two 
subulate stipules at the base. Cirrht unbranched. Pe- 
duncles single-flowered, axillary, solitary. Calyx of ten, 
deep, oblong lobes, greenish white, the five inner smaller 
and more delicate. Filamentose crown pale yellow-green, 
scarcely so long as the calyx, surrounding a double white 
nectarium or cup, one within the other. Column green. 
Anther yellow ; germen oblong ; stigmas yellow. Capsule 
(immature) two inches long, oblong, acute, sharply six- 
angled within, containing many seeds arranged upon three 
longitudinal, parietal receptacles. 
Received from the West Indies by Dr. Granam, who 
communicated a flowering branch, together with the unripe 
fruit in the month of June, 1828, from the Edinburgh 
Botanic Garden. The plant has the flowers much smaller 
than PLumier’s figure represents them, and the leaves much 
more deeply lobed, indeed agreeing with Dz Canpoiue’s 
var. @. in every thing except the spotted leaves.
