forwards, and are generally serrated. Filaments red, grooved 
for the reception of the style. Anther oblong, two-celled; 
cells loaded with yellow pollen. From between the two 
cells of the anther, the stigma is a little protruded, it is 
capitate, and crowned with a tuft or fringe of upright hairs. 
Introduced by Dr. Watuicn to our gardens, about the 
ear 1820. It blossomed at Liverpool, in 1822, and was 
rst described and figured in Mr. Roscor’s work on the 
Scitamineous plants, which has thrown so much light on 
that most beautiful and intricate groupe of vegetables. 
I am indebted for the specimen here figured, to my often- 
mentioned friend, Dr. Granam, who received roots from the 
same liberal donor, and in whose collection they flowered 
in October, 1829.
