A beautiful little perennial, found on mountains near 
Valparaiso and Conception, where it flowers in October. I 
have wild specimens both from Mr. Macrae and Mr. Bridges. 
It is a much more attraetive plant than. the other variety 
figured at fol. 1067 bf this work, because of the deep purple 
spots at the base of £he divisions of its flower, and might be 
almost considered a different perene do not appear 
to be any characters to dis ish it with certainty. 
For the specimens from which the figur 
S. graminifolium. > 
B. pumilum; scap 
floribus oculatis,

indebted to Robert Mangles, Esq. with, whom the plant 
flowered in May last. It will probably be treated as a 
greenhouse plant, but it is undoubtedly one of those species 
which would succged better in a situation protected from 
inter, but without any artificial, heat. 
Considering how very large a nu Ait beautiful plants we
