* CYCLOBOTHRA pulchélla. 
Deep-yellow Cyclobothra. 
HEXANDRIA TRIGYNIA. 
Nat. ord. Liniacex. Juss. (Introduction to the Natural System of 
Botany, p. 279.) 
CYCLOBOTHRA. Supra, fol. 1661. 
C. pulchella ; umbellis 2-3-floris, pedunculis bracteis brevioribus, floribus glo- 
bosis, petalis ovatis obtusis serrulato-fimbriatis foveâ valdê excavatá extus 
callosâ, sepalis ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis vix brevioribus. Bentham in 
Hort. Trans. n.s. vol. 1, p. 415, tab. 14, fig. 1. 
Calochortus pulchellus. Douglas in litt. 
Caulis erectus, teres, glaber, subcorymbosus, apice magis ramosus quam 
in precedente, et humilior. Folia plana, acuminata, minis glauca; superioribus 
brevioribus. Pedunculi bracteis foliaceis breviores, bini ternive. Flores globosi, 
minores quam in precedente, lutei. Sepala virescentia, viridi-striata, pe- 
talis paululum breviora, acutissima. Petala ovata, barbata, fimbriata, basi 
glabra: foveá nectariferá pilis absconditá. 
We doubt whether this plant likes the climate of England 
so wellas the last; for although it grew with apparently 
perfect health, flowered freely, and ripened its seeds under 
the same circumstances as Cyclobothra alba, yet the speci- 
mens which were produced could not be compared with the 
wild ones sent home by Mr. Douglas for beauty. The latter 
consist of many-flowered and rather dense corymbs of 
flowers ; but the cultivated plant hardly exceeded C. alba 
in the number of its blossoms. 
Speaking of C. alba, we adverted to the nature of the dif- 
ferences that exist between Cyclobothra and Calochortus. 
Let us use the present opportunity as a means of explaining 
the affinity which the two genera bear to other plants.
