present and unaltered, by flowering a month sooner, by 
not being divided into branches, by having concave instead 
of flat leaves, 16 rays instead of 12 to the stigma, the 
teeth of the stigmatose disk spreading and not reflex, 
and lastly by the much greener exterior of the herbaceous 
part. 
Varies with 5 petals, as in the sample we have figured 
in our plate, instead of 4, and with a spotted and a plain- 
coloured flower. 
The calyx, according to Mr. Lindley, consists of three 
pieces, and is detached during the expansion of the flower, 
the pieces still holding together when fallen off. 
Sent from Moscow to the Physic Garden at Chelsea, by 
Dr. Fischer; and is probably native of some of the warmer 
Asiatic provinces of Russia.

NOTE. 
We saw this summer a plant of AMARYLLIS acuminata (see fol. 534 of 
the 7th volume of the present work) in the hothouse atthe Nursery of Messrs. 
Colvill, that had thrown up two scapes, on one of which was an umbel of 
eight flowers, on the other of six, all in perfect expansion at the same 
time, and forming in our view, both in point of colour and form, the finest 
bouquet we ever witnessed even in that splendid genus.
