This is another remarkable species of Nieremperesa, for 
a knowledge of which we are indebted to Mr. T'weepie,

seeds to our gardens, and dried specimens to our collections. 
From the former plants were raised in the Glasgow Botanic 
Garden, where they flowered in a warm situation in the 
greenhouse
