In the 305th article of the number of this work for last 

 August, we have already given the synonymy and descrip- 

 tion of this fine species. In that article the yellow variety 

 was the subject, in this the white one, which seems to have 

 been no where represented in a way which it deserves. We 

 are obliged to Mr. Griffin for the specimen for the drawing. 

 The bulb was imported by that gentleman from the Cape of 

 Good Hope. It is a free flowerer, and lasts a long time in 

 bloom.
