relied on in the cultivated plants of this genus: we have, 

 however, marked it as the variety (2 ; that others may dis- 

 tinguish the two according to their own views. 



Leaves 8-10, lorate, acuminate, convolute, channelled, 

 a foot and an half long, half an inch or more in breadth, not 

 glaucous. Scape upright, compressed, a foot or more in 

 length. Spathes oblong, lanceolate, long-pointed, whitish, 

 withering, outer ones the largest, about an inch and an half 

 in length. Flowers sweet-scented, pedicled ; pedicles 3-cor- 

 nered, scarcely half an inch long. Tube of the corolla 

 cylindricaliy 3-cornered, greenish, 2-3 inches long, with the 

 thickness of a large quill: limb campanulate: segments 

 lanceolate, pointed, shorter than the tube, quite white", 

 greenish- in. the, middle on the outside: crown campanulate, 

 shorter than the limb, sixcleft, with two-cleft segments. 

 Filaments white: anthers deep yellow. Style declining, 

 greenish. 



We had no opportunity of describing from the living 

 plant, and have adopted Dr. Solander's description. 



Differs from maritimum (see fol. 161) in having more 

 leaves, and these taper-pointed and not glaucous, longer - 

 taper-pointed segments to the crown, and filaments which 

 are at least 2 or 3 times higher than the segments of the 

 crown.
