Cyrtosperma (Greek, curved seed). Araceae. A handsome warmhouse tuberous foliage plant, with large, hastate red-veined leaves resembling an alocasia, but easily distinguished by its spiny stems.

Herbs with tubers or long rhizomes: lf.- and fl.-stalks often spiny or warty: Lvs. hastate or sagittate; petioles long, sheathing at the base. — Cyrtosperma has 10-12 species, remarkably scattered in the tropics. Cult. presumably same as alocasia.

C. ferox, Lind. & N. E. Br., is a second species of this genus, figured in I. H. 39: 153, but not known to be in the American trade. It has narrow-sagittate Lvs. on slender, very prickly petioles: spathe rather large, reflexed, greenish white. Borneo. CH
