Describe the plant here... {{Inc| Ischnosiphon(name refers to the narrow corolla- tube). Marantaceae. Upward of a dozen calathea-like perennial herbs or bamboo-like plants of S. Amer., belonging to that group of the family having 1-celled rather than 3-celled ovary (and so differing from Calathea and Phrynium, and agreeing with Ctenanthc and Maranta, but differing from the last two in having a solitary staminodium). Lvs. large, coriaceous or soft: fls. geminate, in an elongated cylindrical spike; sepals 3. free, long-linear; corolla-tube narrow and much elongated, the lobes lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate; stamen-tube nearly obsolete; staminodium petal-like, large, obovate: caps, elongated, very unequally 3- valved, 1 valve dehiscent. Tall often branching plants with leafy sts., very little, apparently, in cult. They are treated as calatheas or marantas. I. leucophaeus, Koern. (Maranla major and Calathea major, Hort.). Two feet and more, nearly simple: basal lvs. ovate or oblong, acuminate, more or less cordate at base, farinose beneath: racemes simple, about 6, slender; corolla white or rose-colored, the tube upward of 1 in. long, the lobes oblong-lanceolate. Panama to Brazil. I. bambusaceus, Koern. (Calathea bambusacea, Poepp. & Endl.). Bamboo-like, becoming 30 ft. or more tall, much branched, with graceful shoots: lvs. small (3-5 in. long), somewhat ovate-lanceolate, attenuate- acuminate, green above and glaucous beneath: raceme short and sessile, solitary or twin; corolla-lobes whitish yellow, lanceolate, the tube exserted and about 1 in. long.
