Spironema (name means spiral thread, alluding to structure of the filaments). Commelinaceae. One species, S. fragrans, Lindl., is sometimes listed abroad for hothouse culture, an odd herb from Mex. Sometimes raised under glass for the delicious fragrance and for the transparency of its parts: st. fleshy, 2 ft. and more high: lvs. oblong-lanceolate, sheathing, parallel-veined: fls. white, clustered and nearly sessile in a terminal branched panicle, small, the petals paleaceous and diaphanous, the 3 sepals greenish; stamens 6. B.R. 26:47, where it is written that the plant will be cherished "because its thin and delicate tissue allows the hidden motion of its fluids and the subtile texture of its fructifying organs to be watched with ease and pleasure." It is very little known as a horticultural subject. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
