in Commirson's Herbarium, brought from Buenos Ayres. 

 The prefent plant (probably the firft living one that has been 

 ever Teen in Europe) was received by Mr. Griffin from a 

 friend in Jamaica, who was informed that it had been procured 

 by a perfon refiding " on one of the back fcttlements in ihe 

 blue mountains of that Ifland." 



The fpepimen, from which otir drawing has been made, 

 flowered laft July in Mr. Griffin's hot-houle at South Lambeth 

 for the firft time ; the corolla had a pinkifh hap when it firft 

 jhewed itfelf in bud, but foon loft all veftige of that colour. — > 

 We have never met with the fpecies in any Herbarium we have 

 }iad accefs to. From the length of the peduncle, in relation to 

 the fcape, the fpathe appears as if in the middle, of the latter. G.
