neous membranes very narrow purple bidentate, often 

 separating down the middle, when the filaments assume 

 the appearance of so many distinct winged ones with a 

 tooth on each side, Hke those in most of the Ornithogalums 

 and Alliums, instead of forming a continuous coronary 

 web as in Pancratium ■ filaments (or those parts of them 

 which are extended beyond the web) subulate, green, con- 

 verging, twice shorter than the crown: anthers oblong, 



versatile, twice shorter than the filaments (that is than the 

 part of them beyond the web), tawnyish yellow. - Style 

 compressedly filiform, greenish, equal to the corolla: stigma 

 simple; germen nearly globular, one-celled, not much above 

 twice the size of a seed of Mustard- . 



In November last the plant of Calostbmma tuteum, 

 which afforded the figure of the preceding article, produced 

 another flowering stem at Mr. Griffin's; the former remain- 

 ing perfect, though the fruit had opened, and the seeds 

 were germinating at its foot. We observed that the flowers 

 possessed a strong pungent smeil> that reminded us of 

 Penny-Royal (Mentha Pukg'mm). The interstamineous 

 sinuses should have been ternied obsoletely bidentate, rather 

 than edentate, a& we have called them in the description 



given in the article of that species.
