Eucrosia bicolor, ! 
А very curious unpublished plant, not strictly reducible 
to any established genus, and appearing to us of sufficient 
diversity in character and habit to found a new one. It 
differs from Амавумав in having monadelphous filaments, 
and from Pancratium by a deflectent nearly webless hollow 
stamineous cylinder, broken at the upper side by a deep 
oblong sinus; from both genera by six glandular corpuscles 
subtending the bases of the filaments, not alternating with 
them like the scales in some AMARYLLIDES, and by a ten- 
derer and softer foliage.
