and was figured in the Botanical Magazine plate 7719 

 under the name of C. Griffithii. It is however quite 

 distinct from that in its more numerous, female flowers, 

 smaller appendix to the spadix, and much longer tube. 

 It grows very readily in water, and is perhaps the easiest 

 to cultivate. I have only seen it in the one locality 

 mentioned, our commonest species being the short tubed 

 C. Griffithii.
