T am indebted to Major Trever Clarke for this remarkable new 
Aroid. It is said to be from Africa, but from what part I do not 
know. The plant thrives when placed in quite a cool house 
during the winter, when it should have but little water. The 
soil should be turfy loam. It has not perfected seeds with me, 
but produces offsets from the root, by which it can be freely 
propagated.—_ W. W. 8.
