Flowers . . . Fruit of three ovate-oblong scarlet one-seeded_ berries

very hard and bony. A liliaceous herb resembling Pontederia in habit 
and Sansevieria in fruit. Higher parts of Mata de Quisuculo ; with a

Quisuculo, Sobato Bango. With unripe fr. Sept. 1855. No. 3746. 
Mata de Quisuculo without fi. or fr. August 1857. No. 3747. 
A plant of very doubtful affinity, placed by Baker next to his 
D. Afzelii, from which however it is totally different in habit. As 
moreover Welwitsch’s specimens bear no flowers and the Afzelius 
specimen has no fruit, the two species have nothing in common.
