neral appearance. The drawing was made from a specimen 
which flowered in Mr. Griffin’s collection at South Lam- 
beth. 
Leaves many, bright green, lorate, tapered into a long 
point, a foot and half or more in length, scarcely an inch 
and half broad. Scape about two feet high, ancipital, glau- 
cous. Spathe sphacelate, pointed. _ Flowers several. (about 
5) sessile, fragrant, white, nearly 5 inches long when ex- 
tended: tube triangular with rounded corners, streakless, 
about 3 shorter than the segments: limb radiate, re- 
curved, divaricate; segments narrow, linear, outer ones 
rather the longest. Crown more than three times 
shorter than the limb, narrowly funnelform, entirely sepa- 
rated from the segments, bearing the stamens on six of its 
pointed lobules, the intermediate ones of which are acutely 
bidentate or bifid, upright. Filaments nearly straight, 
green, twice the length of the crown, about § shorter than 
the limb: anthers yellow, about 3 of aninch long. Style 
green, shorter than the flower. Germen glaucous: locula- 
ments two-seeded, ovules upright oblong fixed in the corner 
of the bottom of the cells.
