towards the upper part and flaccid. Spathe acuminate, rather 
longer than the peduncles. Flowers several, white, fra- 
grant, subbilabiately funnelform, about 6 inches long: 
peduncles roundedly 3-cornered, pale green, as thick as the 
tube of the flower or thicker. Germen green, oblong, seve- 
ral times shorter than the peduncle. Tube of the corolla pale 
green, about the length of the segments, two or three times 
thicker than a crow-quill, linearly elongated, 3-cornered, 
closely scored: limb turbinately campanulate, nodding, 
white, about three inches deep, yellowish within at the 
faux, upwards recurved and spreading; segments lance- 
olate, nearly equal, standing apart from near the faux, 
three fourths of an inch broad or thereabouts, taper-pointed, 
keeled and green along the middle at the back; éwo lower 
side ones linearly lanceolate and rather narrower than the 
rest. Filaments loosely fasciculate, first declined then as- 
cending, whitish, about one fourth shorter than the limb, 
filiform, 3 alternate ones longest, all slender. Style rather 
longer than the corolla, of the same colour as the filaments 
and nearly of the same thickness, obtusely 3-cornered, 
fluted: stigmas three, very shallow.
