MONOGRAPH OF 
tinct from the last. The P. Walteri is very 
akin, but has acute lobes. 
4. Peltandra heterophyla Raf. Petiols une- 
qual terete, leaves variable oblong cuspidate, or 
ovatoblong hardly sagittate or nearly auriculate 
or base often entire obliqual, lobes unequal 
rounded short or ovate obtuse — With the last 
in the same places, even near Philadelphia in 
the Schuylkill, but rare, seldom seen in flowers, 
berries 1-3 seeded, different leaves out of the 
same root. 
5. Peltandra hastata Raf. Arum Yirgin- 
icum Elliot. Petiols vaginated at base, leaves 
equal in length oblong, hastate cordate acumi- 
nate, lobes subacute ; spatha oblong acute re- 
pand, spadix equal. — In Carolina and Florida, 
it blossoms in April there says Elliot, the ber- 
ries have several seeds, and thus it is a Leu - 
cospatha like the next. 
6. Peltandra alba Raf. Calla sagittifolia 
mx. Caladius glaucum Elliot. Leaves glaucous 
hastate cordate acuminate, lobes oblong obtuse 
divaricate, petiols elongate ; scape short, spatha 
cuculate oval lanceolate, white, end dilatate — 
In Carolina and probably all over the southern 
States* Elliot says the berries are red and 
with several seeds. The white flowers and red 
berries will distinguish this ; they are both green 
in the others. This will be the type of Leucos - 
patha and may have some other peculiar char- 
acters in the flowers to make it a Genus — Thus 
1 have fully ascertained 4 sp. in the North and 
2 in the South ; but there are 2 other doubtful 
sp. there. 
7. Peltandra Walteri Raf. Arum sagitti- 
folium Walter, Arum Walteri Elliot. Leaves 
triangular sagittate, angles divaricate acute.
