very remarkable plant, differing — in habit from its con- 
geners, and so closely resembling an Arundina of the Dilochia section, 
that, at first sight, it might be supposed to fick to that genus. The 
flowers are described by King’s collector as waxy white with a blue 
tinge inside ; by Wray as of a delicate pink, and the bracts as white.
