 (P) minor : foliis lotis viridibus. 

 Tah, 2719 is represented from a drawing by Mr. Aiton , but not well, I was led into 

 the error of considering it a native of Trinidad and communicated by Sir Ralph 

 Woodford to theRoyaI,Gardens at Kew. It is of Indian origin and our present drawing 

 was made from one of the raany fine planls sent to Kew by Dr, Wallich and wbicb 

 flowers more or less copiously all winier ihrough. It would be included in Bleiia of 

 Brown and other auihors; but it difl^ers from the true Bletiae in having a spur to 

 the lip, and ihat lip connaie wiih ihe base of ihe column, not articulated upon it, 



Like sorae yellow flowered plants (ihe Primulaceae for example) the bractcas and 

 flowers become of a deep verdigreen in decey, Any part of the plant introduced 

 in the niouth produce after some minutes a pungent and sensible heat like the acrid 

 leaves of some Aroideae.
