I have nol seen any speciincn wliicli agrees wilh the account given of ihis plant, 

 which may perhaps not be a Calonthe. Griffuh says it has — 1. Scapes o|tpearing 

 hcfore the leoves; 2. Flowers large, wliito ond showy. wilh ihc smell of Hynciiilhs; 

 3. Leaves rotlier gloiicous unclcrneaih; 4. A spur iwo-tooihcd al llie end ; and 5, 

 Eighi pollen-raasses wiih as raany pulverulent caiidicles ! The only species of Ca- 

 lanthe that may corre&pond with the first char. is C. v.iginala, Nr. 23; but it is un- 

 cerlaiij whcther ihe onlj specimen of ihat species at preseni kiiovvn , may not lie ac- 

 cidenlally rather than natuially uiiaccompanied hy leaves , and it differs in nll other 

 parliculars. Griffith dcscribes the flowering stem of ihis plant as being a foot aiid 

 half high.
