crescent-shaped, serrated, deflexed wing. Anther in front, 
near the apex of the column, opercu iform, two celled, 
having two ovate waxy pollen masses. 
_ The above description, and the annexed engraving of 
this singular and highly interesting plant, are made from 
a beautiful drawing in the possession of W. 'T. Arron, Esq. 
That drawing was done from a specimen that flowered in 
the stove of the Royal Gardens at Kew, and which was 
sent, at the request of his mreclicors Sir Rate Wooprorp, 
by Mr. Davin Locguarrt, from the Island of Trinidad. 
Not finding the plant to agree with the character of an 
already defined genus, I am sure I am complying wit 
what would be the wish of Mr. Arron, in naming it after 
the very zealous and most deserving Botanist, who has 
introduced it into our gardens, and who, under the direction 
of the governor, so ably conducts the Botanic Garden at 
Trinidad. For this important situation (useful plants and 
trees being there especially cultivated) he is fitted no less 
by education, than by his travels. Instructed by Sir Ratpa 
Wosiscas, he has visited many parts of South America, 
particularly the Caraccas, and the interior of Demarara: 
and let it be remembered, that he is one of the few of our 
brave countrymen, who returned from the disastrous Congo 
expedition, under Captain Tuckey, and the only survivor of 
the party by whom the river, above the falls, was examined. 
It was from Mr. Lockxnart, that Mr. Brown, as that gentle- 
man tells us, in his inestimable Memoir on the plants of 
that expedition, received valuable information concerning 
many of the specimens, and also respecting the esculent 
plants, observed on the banks of the Congo.
