letely and roundedly 3-cornered, flatter on one side, 

 straight, half a foot long, about as thick as a crow-quill, 

 not glaucous, nor with a root-sheath as in Albuca exuviata. 

 Scape a foot or more high, round, upright, glaucous, much 

 thicker than the leaves ; raceme terminal, loosely set, many- 

 flowered, spreading, half a foot long or more. Peduncles 

 spreading, about half an inch long. Bractes shorter than 

 the peduncles, membranous, whitish, acuminate. Corolla 

 fi'onting the horizon, succulent, tender, soon collapsing, 

 more than an inch in diameter, subrotate; segments not 

 touching each other above, oblong, obtuse, bent inwards 

 at the top, whitish, on the outside and at the top suffused 

 in part with a dullish brown purple, traversed longitudi- 

 nally by a green stripe deeply keeled on the outside. Sta- 

 mens twice shorter than the corolla, equal smooth, slightly 

 declined : filaments subulate : anthers deep yellow, upright; 

 widely dehiscent at the ends. Pistil about equal to the 

 corolla: germen oblong, prism-shaped, with two-ribbed' 

 comers : style purplish, thickish, linearly three-cornered, 

 declined, rising again with a gentle curve: *^/g7rta holloWj, 

 open, slightly trifid, pubescent. 



There are some slight discrepancies between our plant 

 and Jacquin's figure and description of the pistil, which we 

 suspect arise from an oversight in the draughtsman, rather, 

 than that they are real distinctions.
