That the plant now represented is a variety of H. pubes¬ 
cens, figured at Plate 382 of tjiis work, we do not in the 
least doubt, but we cannot agree in the opinion of their 
absolute identity. 
To us it appears that it is necessary to distinguish the 
present plant, not only on account of its contracted white, 
not lax greerf, spatha, but also because of its more robust 
habit and greater stature. 
Our drawing was made several years since from a 
bulb in Mr. Griffin's collection, at South Lambeth.
