Before we had seen Brunsviata Josephine in the plant, 
and judging solely from the figure in the Liliacées, we con- 
ceived it to be of the same species as the Brunsviaia multi- 
flora, most correctly represented in the 1619th article of 
Curtis's Botanical Magazine. But a view of the two plants 
themselves has convinced us that we had judged wrong ; 
they. agree, indeed, considerably in appearance, and exactly 
in the singular character of a counterfeit-resupinate corolla, 
the inflexion of the two lips of the limb being the reverse of 
that which is the usual one, while the general posture of the 
corolla is unchanged. The lower lip is here the ascendant 
and projecting one, while the upper is the depressed and 
recedent one-—an anomaly in the natural order beyond 
the two species, Giving too much weight to this remark- 
able feature, we had neglected other differences when we 
considered multiflora and Josephine as of the same species. 
The present drawing was taken at the never-failing 
source of curious and beautiful Liliacee, Mr. Griffin’s col- 
lection at South Lambeth: it had been very lately imported 
by that gentleman from the Cape of Good Hope, where it 
was collected in the district of Hantam. We һай some 
hesitation in believing our plant to be of the same species 
as Josephine; but Mr. Griffin is persuaded that the differ- 
ence between the two, which indeed consists principally in 
size, proceeds from his specimen being the produce of a 
bulb much younger than that from which the figure in 
Redouté's work was taken. 
In multiflora the leaves are about 4, short, obovately ob- 
long, very broad, bright green, and flatly recumbent on 
the ground; in our plant they are 9 or more, lorately elon- 
gated, slightly lanceolate, upright, recurvedly patent, and 
glaucous. There the scape is scarcely longer than the 
peduncles of the flowers; here twice the length of them. 
There, the peduncles are shorter and trigonal, with three
