The smaller variety of this species has been long known 
in our collections, and represented in various works, as is 
shown by the synonymy. — But the present we do not find 
any where noticed. Mr. Griffin, who contributed the speci- 
men from which the drawing was made, takes it to be the 
parent of the double Амлвушав, which was imported a few 
years since by Messrs. Frasers, and well known among 
gardeners by the appellation of pulcherrima. Its bulbs were 
received by Mr. Griffin, a short time ago, from Guadaloupe. 
Тһе main difference between it and the other variety seems 
to consist in this being more than twice the size of that, and 
in having a pubescence at the orifice of the tube of much 
greater breadth,
