parallel-nerved. Flowers in pariicles of corymbs from leaf axils and 

 from old nodes on brandies and stems, 1 foot long, sometimes nearly as 

 broad, individaal corymbs 4-6 in. long, pednncles and pedicels glabrous, 

 stoiitu bracts very large ovate-acnniinate, 2 in. long, "7 in. Avide, (npering

 dark-green shining above, dull beneath, glabrous on both surfaces ; 

 petiolules stout '4 in. long, stipels caducous ; stipules coriaceous at length 

 scarious usually soon deciduous, the two united throughout into a con- 

 volute sheatii for the subsequent bud, when laid open '75 in. long, '3 in. 

 wide, parallel-nerved. Floioers in panicles of cojymbs from old nodes on 

 branches and stems, 6 in. long and as much across, individual corymbs
