 plant diners in the much greater width of the leaves and 

 revolute bractes; greater size of its white {lowers; and both 

 from that and every known species in the greater length 

 of the spur-like processes at the base of the bearded part 

 of the filaments, of which Mr. Brown could only trace 

 mere rudiments in any of the other species; in the entire 

 margins of the inner petals ; and in the thicker root, 

 approaching to tuberous.
