48. SPIRONEMA fr'agr'ans. 



A Mexican herbaceous plant, introduced by Mr. Barker, 

 with something of the appearance of a Sanseviera, but very 

 fragrant, has lately flowered with Messrs. Lowe and Co. of 

 Clapton. As a detailed account of it will be given very soon 

 in this work, with a figure, it is only necessary now to men- 

 tion the circumstances by which it is distinguished from other 

 genera of Coramelinacese to which it belongs. Sepals green, 

 scale-like, rather larger than the petals, which are trans- 

 parent and very delicate. Stamens six, equal, with spiral 

 jilamentSy and cordate petaloid anthers, bearing- their cells 

 transversely upon the base. Ovary three-celled ; ovules hori- 

 zontal, globose, one above the other ; stigma simple.
