An 



ded plant from the 



of New South 



Wales, where it was lately observed and sent to England by 

 Mr. Cunningham, the zealous and intelligent investigator 



of the obj 



of natural history found in the newly 



plored inland parts of those regions. 



Comes very close to Pancratium amholneme, admirably 

 figured by Mr. Sydenham Edwards in Curtis's Botanical 



Mag 



(1419); but is altogether a smaller pi 



the short crown of the flower is sixparted to the very bot- 

 tom, which is not the case in the other species. 



Drawn at Mr. Colvill's Nurserj- in the King's Road. A 

 hothouse plant.
