12 is the variety from which the species was originally 

 taken up in the Hortus Kewensis; and is the one figured in 

 Jacquin's work, as well as by Mr. Fi-ancis Bauer, in his 

 Sketches in the Banksian Museum. We know of no re- 

 presentation of a, except the one in Curtis's Botanical Ma- 

 gazine by Mr. Sydenham Edwards. 



The species approaches nearer to Pancratium than any 

 other of its natural order from the Cape of Good Hope or 

 adjoining regions, where the type of that genus seems 

 wholly unrepresented. The membrane which is detached 

 from the faux in Pakcratium, and forms the connecting 

 web between the stamens, in this plant adheres closely to 

 the corolla, and connects the portion of the segments 

 which constitute the faux. 



Requires to be kept in the hothouse, where it flowers 

 freely; and is becoming pretty common in the nurseries 

 about London.
