In many of our stoves, this plant has been confounded 

 with Arum Venosum. The two plants are, indeed, very simi- 

 lar ; but this produces several leaves from each root, Arum 

 Venosum I believe never more than one. It grows wild in the 

 woods of Caracas, and was introduced by the Marchioness of 

 Rockingham, in 1796.

This was pointed out to me by the late Dr. Hope, under 

 a fine Brucea Antidysenterica, as one of the choicest plants 1 

 in the Botanic Garden at Edinburgh, when I first visited that 

 university : he informed me, that it had been raised from 

 seeds, which he took from a dried specimen gathered in the 

 island of Martinico, in 1768. It thrives in our stoves with 

 little care, but is difficult to increase except by seeds ; these, 

 however, ripen here upon old plants.

This plant will succeed in any border of rich earth, though 

 it is said to be an aquatic : and it is one of the rare plants 

 which I found left in the garden at Mill Hill, by Mr. Peter 

 Collinson. The flowers come out naked before the leaves, 

 and are often succeeded by ripe fruit.
