 Native of the Antilles, Porto Ricco, lliedle. Pers. ench. 1. p. 

 230. Poir. suppl. 2. p. 183. This is nearly allied to C. lauri- 



fblium, and is probably a variety of it ; the leaves are, however, 

 much larger, and less approximate, hardly coriaceous. The 

 flowers are cream-coloured at the time of expansion, but at 

 length pale yellow, or rusty, rising above the articulations of 

 the petioles. Bracteas linear, clothed with rusty tomentum, 

 deciduous.
