In assigning to this supposed species the name of P. Chara, 
I desired to show its possible relation as the opposite sex to 
P. Astorion.* Their specific identity can at present, however, be 
only conjectured. Should they ultimately prove to be so, it will be 
in accordance with the ordinary practice, to retain the name of the 
male as that of the species. 
The plant represented in the plate, is the Nepalese Hedychium 
coronarium Koen. 
“ Next to that Book which shows to guilty man 
How he through mercy infinite, may gain 
More than he lost in Eden, I do rank, 
And justly so, sweet Nature's varied lore, 
For well it records many a glorious truth 
Which in that better record stands revealed. 
The furious hurricane that rends the heavens 
And makes the scared and desolated earth 
* These are the names of the hounds of Bootes,
