ARUM SPIRALE, 
—_ 
Class. Order. 
MON@CIA POLYANDRIA. 
This curious species is a native of the 
East Indies : it grows about eight or nine 
inches in oe and flowered with us in 
April. The spathe, which is very narrow, 
is twisted, aad the spadix very short, and 
ground. At the first opening of this singu- 
lar flower it had a delicate fragrance, which 
afterwards went quite off. 
It requires the stove heat, and should be 
potted in rich loam, It seems to be difficult 
of increase, seldom producing any offsets.
