Two filiooth, at leaft very little hairy^ Stalks, round and 
nioft commonly upright, not Iquare nor trayling: The leaves 
grow alternately on this fide and that,one at a Jointer Knee : 
They are thin long and pointed, coming in like a Heart at 
the Footftalk, a little Hairy above, and rough with many 
protuberant Veins underneath, and in handling they flick a 
little fo the Finger?. Near the Ground grow One or Two 
hollow Flowers, each upon its proper Foot-ftalk, different 
in Form from tlie Vifiolochia Cretica^ or any other yet known j 
all whofe Fiowsrs (if Authors Figures, or the Plants them- 
felves dried, rightly inform me) refemble a Cows Horn, the 
top growing to the Rudiment of the Seed-Veffel, and the 
open end cut flaunting like a Drenching^Horn, whereas this 
of ours terminates with a Heel, which fupporti a broad, 
round, galerniculated Lip, the Center of which opens into 
the Hollow of the Flower. The Lip is of a light ruffet or 
dirt Colour. The Seed Veffel is hexagonal, fhap'd like a 
Pear, when full grown near balf an Inch in diameter. It is 
not an ever- green , but after the Seeds are ripe , the 
Leaves and Stalks begin to wither and decay. It flowers in 
M^J/^ an<J its Seeds are ripe in AuguH.
