An inhabitant of Nepaul, and communicated by Dr Carry 
of Serampore to the Botanic Garden of Liverpool, where it 
flowered in the stove in October 1824, and whence a specimen, 
with a sketch of the living plant, were sent to me a Mr H. 
SHEPHERD. 
The structure of these sows is highly curious; each, 
taken separately, having no inconsiderable resemblance, both 
in colour and form, to the spatha of the Pothos violacea. 
Not being able to discover any already established genus 
at all corresponding with this plant, I have derived the present 
appellation from avoos, unequal, and wreroeaay, the petal; from 
the great disparity in the size of the inner and outer petals. 
This species is dedicated to the eminent individual to whom 
_ the Liverpool garden owes the introduction of it.
