The leaves a/e remarkable for their dark glossy green hue, 
and there are peculiarities in the insertion of the stamens, and 
the nature of the styles, which I have not observed in any 
other species of the genus. The character attributed to the 
corolla of Tillandsia (3-fida, campanulata), should surely be 
altered ; for in many the corolla is deeply 3-partite, and in the 
present species the petals appear to be distinct.
