(A.) gracilior; flores plures; folia angustiora. Infra fol. 623. 
(B.) robustior; flores plurimi; folia latiora. In loco presenti. 
Folia multifaria, plura ad duodena usque, lorato-attenuata, canalicu- 
lata, ecarinata, ecostata; exteriora in orbem recumbentia bipedalia v. 
ultra latitudine uni-triunciali: interiora erectiuscula gradatim angustiora, 
acutiüs canaliculata. Scapus viridis, cylindraceus, plus minüs compressus, 
foliis altior. Spatha multiflora, ovato-lanceolata, pedunculis longior. Flores 
suaveolentes, pedunculati, triunciales vel ultra. Cor. infundibuliformis, intüs 
albida, extüs secundùm medium laciniarum limbi rubicunda, ceterum albi- 
cans; tubus linearis cylindricus obsolete trigonus, virescens, plùs minis flexus 
vel etiam strictus, subduplo brevior limbo; limbus in faucem profundam tur- 
binatam connivens, inde recurvatim vel revolutim patens, obsolete irregu- 
laris, laciniis elliptico-lanceolatis, interioribus tribus sublatioribus. Fil. de- 
clinato-assurgentia, X vel circa breviora limbo, paulo inequalia. Stylus 
corollam denuó adequans: stigma parvum, triquetro-capitellatum, apertum. 
Germ. ellipticum, nitidum, exsulcum, etorosum; loculi singuli ovulis subtri- 
nis vel pluribus biseriato-annexis, obovato-globosis. Capsule semina (ex 
Jacquino) solitaria, loculorum cavitati conformia. 
A species distinguishable at once from AmaryLLis longi- 
olia in every variety we have seen, by the limb of the co- 
rolla being longer than the tube. "There are other differ- 
ences, but this is obvious and definite. 
Revoluta appears the most variable of its congeners ; 
and we have been induced from that circumstance to ex-
