A native of the Weft-Indies; faid to have been introduced by P.MILLER, in 1730.

In our figure an inner younger leaf is represented, and the stem is feen on one of its nar- roweft fides.

Blooms in our ftoves generally twice a year, about June and February.

Leaves Leaves 12-14, blades about a foot long and three inches broad, fhining, and of a very deep green.

Flowers fragrant, vertical.

Tube about two inches long, with the alternate angles nearly obfolete; segments for nearly the length of the crown, converging turbinately, then recurvedly deflected; outer ones narroweft; crown three times shorter than these. stamens rather shorter than the segments.

Little ftrefs in specific dif- tinction can be laid upon the finufes of the crown being entire or toothletted, as we have frequently feen them vary infinitely in the fame plant.

In the courfe of this summer we hope to communicate some further information concerning the Weft-Indian species of this genus.
