4-celled, containing 4 pollen masses which remain attached 

 to the hollow in the apex of the column, the stigma, when the 

 lid falls off. 



This very rare species of EpinENORUM was communicated 

 by Messrs. Loddiges and Sons, in whose stove, heated by 

 steam, these plants, considered so difficult to be preserved, are 

 cultivated with the greatest success. Native of Jamaica. 

 Flowers in June and July. Introduced in 1793 by the 

 late Vice-Admiral William Bligh in his Majesty's Ship 

 Providence.
