The seeds are not fleshy as conjectured in the Botanical 
Register, but shelly and black like those of the whole ge- 
nus. In the shortness of the tube and the ronnded curve of 
the lowest part of the filaments it accords with tubispatha. 
The corolla of all-the speciés is disposed to expand in the
