2. C. hispidulum Rendle, sp. nov. 
An acaulescent herb, perennial by means of a tuberous rhizome 
bearing long subfleshy or string-like spreading fibrous roots ; 
leaves 2 or more, radical, rigid, leathery, spreading, with a broad 
sheathing base and a long rather broad linear concave petiole, pass- 
ing very gradually into a narrowly oval acute blade ; both faces of 
blade conspicuously many-nerved, upper face glabrous, nerves of 
under side and the back of the petiole densely minutely hispidulous; 
scapes simple or once branched, springing from among, and much 
shorter than the leaves, stoutish, and similarly hispidulous, 
with a submembranous acuminate basal bract, and a few short 
ovate triangular bracts above, the axis and branch each ending 
in a short dense oblong subcompound head of shortly stalked 
subglobose bluntly triquetrous fruits; capsules loculicidally 
dehisced, valves rough and hispidulous outside, polished and 
faintly horizontally striate on the inside, edges thick and recurving; 
seeds a dull polished black, with rounded backs and deeply grooved 
ventral surfaces. 
Leaves 9 to 14 in. long, including 2 to 4 in. of petiole, petiole 
2 to 3 lines broad, blade 14 to 13 in. broad; scape 14 to 22 in. 
long, inflorescence (in fruiting stage) about 1 in. by 7 to 8 lines 
thick. Capsules scarcely in. long ; seeds scarcely 1 line. I have 
seen no flowers, but the plants look so distinct that I have ven- 
tured to describe them as a new species of the Cannefolia section 
characterised by its tough long-stalked narrow leaves, short simple 
or forked scape, and short dense hispidulous indumentum.

Punco AnponGo.—A herb, perennial with a fascicled fibrous root 
and very broad linear radical leaves, 3 to 4 ft. long, fleshy-coriaceous, 
herbaceous-green, channelled and very obtusely carinate. Scapes 
central, 1$ to 3 feet or higher, cylindric, bracts linear-lanceolate, 
semiamplexicaul at the base, whitish-green. Flowers very sweet. 
Perianth spreading, leaves equal, lanceolate, subobtuse, a fine white. 
Filaments filiform, subcompressed. Anthers bright yellow, long, 
narrowly lanceolate, subsagittate, dorsifixed. Ovary obovate-triquetrous, 
angles obtuse, furrowed; style declinate ascending, stigma with a 
small finely fibrillar head. The very long bracts are coherent at the
