Diagnosis.—Ainomal Endogens ivith one stamen, a two-celled anther^ and a vitellas round the tropical herbaceous plants. Rhizome creeping, often jointed. Stem formedof the cohering bases of the leaves, never branching. Leaves simple, sheathing, their. Fig. CXIII. lamma often separated from the sheath by a taper neck, and having a suigle mich-ib, fromwhich very numerous, simple, crowded veins diverge at an acute angle. Inflorescenceeither a dense spike, or a raceme, or a sort of panicle, terminal or radical. Flowersarising from among spathaceous membranous bracts, in which they usually lie m superior, tubular, 3-lobed, short. Corolla tubular, ii-regular, with 6 segments in2 whorls ; the outer 3-parted, nearly equal, or with the odd segment sometimes differ-ently shaped ; the inner (sterile stamens) 3-parted, with the mtermediate segnient(labellum) larger than the rest, and often 3-lobed, the lateral segments sometimesnearly abortive. Stamens 3, distmct, of which the 2 lateral are abortive, and the mter-mediate one fertile ; this placed opposite the labellum, and ax-ismg from the base of theintermediate segme
