This plant, in the shape of its leaves, approaches A. aspera, R. & P., 
but they are by no means asperous; the flowers differ much from the 
figure of that species, resembling more those of A. biflora ; the leaves are 
32 inches long, and 14 inches broad, on a petiole 3 inch long ; the stem of 
the umbel is § inch long, the pedicels being 10 lines, the calyx is 4 lines, 
the tube of the corolla 1 inch, the border 4 lines in length.
