ACCORUS. 
Accori sp. Pl. СЕХИ. 
This species is found both upon the Khasiya and Sub-Hi- 
malayan ranges, its elevation varies from 2, to 4000 ft. I be- 
lieve I have seen it also in upper Assam. 
The genus is instructive as pointing out the true nature of 
the spathe of other allied plants, which in most cases is more 
or less coloured, as well as moreor less altered in shape. In 
this we have it entirely resembling an ordinary leaf. 
The separation of Accoridee from Aroidee appears to me 
doubtful. 
The number of scales appears to vary, as well as that of 
thestamens, neither is the opposition of these organs very 
constant.
