founded by Roxburgh, the leaves are shaped as in gigantea, 

 but the flowere are peduncled, instead of sessile. 



Leaves numerous, multifariously disposed, spreading, 

 broadly subulate, not glaucous, 3-4 feet long or more, 3^ 

 inches broad, flat, rough-edged. Scape lateral, 3 feet 

 high or more, of a palish somewhat peach-coloured red 

 throughout, clouded by a grey hoar, compressedly rounded. 

 Flowers sessile, about ten, more or less, rosy white, like 

 those of the nearest relatives flowering in the afternoon; 

 about nine inches long, intermediate hractes conspicuous ; 

 tube greenish; limb campanulately spreading, faintly bila- 

 biate; segments oblong, lanceolate; anthers ash-coloured 

 and yellow. 



Dr. Roxburgh speaks of his plant as native of Bengal.
