one and a half foot long, and consist of dense racemes 

 proceeding from the axil of falcate spathes, so as to have 

 a great resemblance to that of some Palm. Perhaps 

 this ought to be rather referred to Amphiglottium ; but

 each branch of the inflorescence, seem to justify its being 

 placed in this section. (Not in cultivation.)

spatha lata coriacea pedunculo longiore, floribus laxe

 loso laciniis lateralibus cordatis crenulatis intermedia 



lineari divergenti biloba. On the ascent to Sotara,

of Pitayo, in the province of Popayan, at the height of
