much anxious care and circumspect zeal to originating, promoting and 
sustaining this first enterprise of the Society. 
This new acanthaceous plant, which we hope to see ere long in 
ornamental culture, cannot well be placed into any of the several genera, 
to which it is allied, without invalidating their respective characteristics. 
From Eranthemum, whose general aspect it shares, it differs already in 
the corolla-lobes twisted before expansion, in the double number of 
stamens as well as in the not stipitated capsule and in the augmented 
number of ovules and seeds. From Stenosiphonium our new genus is 
readily distinguished by the corolla being neither dilated nor bent above 
the middle, and by the four anthers being conformous ; nevertheless the 
discovery of middle form may perhaps yet connect it sectionally with 
that genus.
