PLECTOPOMAS. 
This collection forms not only a new group of hybrids, but a novel class of Gesne- 
raceas, remarkable for their style of growth, and the great profusion with which the 
attractive and beautiful flowers are given. 
This distinct class will take a high rank in the family to which it belongs, because 
the flowers are extremely handsome, and the growth and habit of the plant distinct ; 
for instead of the blossoms being in pyramidal spikes above the foliage, as in Gesne- 
ras, they are produced on compact stems, from the axils of the leaves.
