The specimens which I have seen of this species contain each a panicle with 1 or 2 

 leaves, and therefore give no information as to the habit of the plant. Gardner says 

 that it grows 6 feet high, and is found in the virgin forest and in moist rocky places 

 fiuprecht describes and figures the style as trifid, and the squamuhe quite smooth ; but 

 m the specimens which I have examined, including one from Sellow, the style is decidedly 

 bind, and the squamuhe are much fringed.
