comparatively slender, and so much clecurved that the fruits when ripe are 

 usually buried in the mould of the dark forests in which the plant grows. 



Baker, in his Revision of Asparagece (Journ. Linn. Soc, XIV. 581), 

 adds a doubtful species (T. ? Singapuriana, Wall.) to the genus. Of this I 

 have seen only a very bad specimen without fruit or flower, but to me it 

 appears a Hypoxidea or more likely a species of Apostasia. The same author 

 makes Veratronia, Miq., a Palmacea (from which the fleshy scanty albumen 

 would alone remove it), having evidently overlooked a little note of mine 

 on this genus in the Flora, 1873, p. 224, where I have identified the plant 

 with Susum anthelminticum of Blume. In this note I have inadvertedly 

 overlooked Susum minus, Miq. Suppl. Fl. Sumatr. 598, which should be 

 added as a synonym to S. Kassintu, Kurz.
