Our drawing of this Pothos, a native, we believe, of the 

 Weft-Indies, was taken at Mr. Vkre's of Kenfmgton-Gore. 

 It appears to differ from cordata chiefly in the form of the 

 pofterior lobes of the leaf, which, in the latter, are never 

 without a projecting portion from the middle of the inner 

 margin, making them approach near to, though they do not 

 always overlap one another. 



The Pothos fagitlaia is undoubtedly different from the 

 Arum acinis ameihyllinis of Plumier, the only fynonym 

 quoted by Linn jevs to his Pothos cordata; this figure alfo ap- 

 pears to be very unlike the plant ufually known by this name in 

 our collections; and from this laft we apprehend that ours differs, 

 not only in the form of the leaf as mentioned above, but in its 

 fmaller fize, and in the reflected fpathe and more cylindrical 

 fpadix. 



Native of the Weft-Indies. Flowers in Auguft. May be 

 propagated by offsets from the root.
