Native of Bengal —found about Calcutta but rare. 
788. ARUM CURVATUM (Roxb.—ArisemaMart.) stem- 
less leaves pedate, leaflets from 10 to 12 lanceolar, spathe 
vaulted half the length of the carved spadix: no nutu- 
rial filaments: anthers 3-lobed. Roxb. Fl. Ind. 3 p.

789. Arum rornicatum. (Roxb. Colocasia. Ray. 
Schott.) caulescent: leaves peltate, narrow cordate with 
the lobes angle rounded : spadix clavate, upper half of 
the spathe vaulted equaling the spadix berries with 
from one to three seeds. Rozb. Fl. Ind. 3 p. 501.

790. A UM DIVARICATUM. (Roxb. Typhonium Schott.)

the subulate spadix with a slender drooping spiral apex 
nectarial filaments simple and subulate, encurved. Rozb. 
Fl. Ind. 3 p. 503. 
Native of Malabar—Roxburgh also received living 
plants of it from China. 
791. ARUM FLAGELLIFORME. (Roxb. Typhonium 
Schott. )stemless : leaves sagittate lobes spreading: spathe 
and spadix equal whip-shape nectarial scales coloured ; 
anthers two-lobed two-celled. Rozb. Fl. Ind. 3 p. 502. 
A native of Bengal found in damp shaded ground. 
792. ARUM FORNICATUM (see above No. 789-) This 
figure should have been numbered 790—The drawing 
seems to have been made for the purpose of showing a 
peculiarity of this species unusual in the genus namely, 
its viviporous property, the buds on its stem becoming 
developed and forming new plants there, deriving their ` 
nourishment through the parent plant. We have here 
a good figure of nearly mature fruit. : 
793. Arum Grace (Roxb. Typhonium? Schott. 
Arisema Kunth) stemless leaves deeply three parted or 
subternate, lobes acute the middle one oblong, lateral 
^ ones semihastate : spathe flagelliform the an ga of the 
flagelliform spadix : nectarial scales simple an revolute. |

795. ARUM MARGARITIFERUM(Roxb. Amorphophallus 
Kunth.) herbaceous stemless : leaves trifid with entire 
narrow lanceolate pinnatifid segments: spathe campanu- 
late equaling the obtuse spadix ; nectaries like large 
pearls. Roxb. Fl. Ind. 3 p. 512. 
Native of Hindostan, መመመ May and June. The 
globular bodies seen on the spadix are not fruit but ab- 
ortive or modified pistilla or in Roxburgh's language 
“ Nectaries.” The ovaries occupy the lower portion of 
the spadix the stamens the upper—the pearl-like bodies 
the middle. Roxburgh’s description of the leaves does 
not convey to the mind a clear idea of their form. Ge- 
nerally they may be designated bipinnatifid; that is 
they are first divided into 3 primary lobes each of which 
is again cut into several narrow lancolate segments 
with entire margins. They may then be briefly and 
elearly defined almost in Roxburgh’s own words due 
ly altered in the arrangementthus “leaves trifid, lobes 
pinnatifidly cleft into several narrow lanceolate seg- 
ments, entire on the margin.” 
796. ARUM MONTANUM (Roxb. Colocasia Ray, Schott, 
Kunth) stemless, root a subcylindrical tuber : leaves

berries one-seeded. Roxb. Fl. Ind. 3 p. 499. > 
Native of Pegue, flowers during the cool season ripen- 
ing its fruit in March and April. The flowers possess a 
considerable degree of agreeable fragrauce, a very un- 
usual quality in the family.

liferous and these runners bearing scaly viviferous bulbs
