Nicaragua by the late Dr. Seemann as a species of Marcgraavia, but which under cultivation has very 
much more the aspect of a Pothos, and may possibly prove to be an entirely new genus. The stems 
cling firmly to the surface against which they are placed, by means of the strong roots which issue 
from their nodes opposite tlie alternately (Ustichous leaves, which arc of a deep green colour. 10s. 6d
