appears more like the germen of A. fothergillia. The pe- 
duncles of A. L. are described as peculiarly thick, which 
in my plant, I think, was not the case. There is so much 
resemblance between my plant and B. Multiflora, that it 
occurred to me, from the very first, that it must be a 
Brunsvigia. Perhaps I might more correctly have com- 
pared its germen with that of B. Multiflora than B. Jose- 
phinae, but not having seen the B. M. in flower, I did 
not venture to do so. I have that plant now shewing bud, 
and the spatha also appears to be very fleshy." 
The leaves in our figure are represented differently 
from their description in the above memorandum ; but 
Mr. Slater observes, that the manner of growth mentioned 
by him is that which is natural to the plant, and such as it 
was the year before the flower-stem appeared. 
This plant is, we suppose, what is meant in the Bota- 
nical Magazine, tab. 2578, by a sixth small species of 
Brunsvigia, imported by the late Mr. Lee under the erro- 
neous name of Cyrtanthus ventricosus, and not yet (June 
1825) obseired in flower. 
A native of the Cape of Good Hope, and requirifl^ tibc 
same mode of treatment as other Cape Amaryllideee.
