Hab. Mexico ; Chiapas and Tabasco. Sent by Gheisbreght to Ver- 

 schaffelt. It was described by Jacobi in 1867, and lirst flowered at Kew in 

 October, 1874. A fine drawing sent by Dr. Fenzl to Kew in 18(i8, under the 

 name of F. tuherosa, apparently represents this species. We have a similar 

 plant with smaller very thin leaves, received from Bermuda by Mr. Wm. Bull 

 in 1878. F. Eoezlii atropurpurea, exhibited by Be Smet at Brussels in 1876, is 

 said to have thin leaves a foot long, of a pale bronzy puri^lish tint.

 ceolate, 2^-3 ft. long, 4-5 in. broad at the middle, narrowed to 2 in. 

 above the base, a subopaque deep green with streaks of darker 

 green, wavy and subangulate concave down the face, not pungent 

 at the point, the margin with only a few minute deltoid teeth
