Tub leaves form the must striking feature; they are ovate-heart shaped. 

 pointed, ami strongly ribbed ; of a very bright yellow-green^ And in general 

 Appearance much resembling lbo.se of Hcmerocullis Japonica-4ho Nectary is 

 v(tv curious, ami dissimilar from that of other Pancratium*, being formed 

 merely of unconnected, wedge-shaped protuberances from each side of the base 

 of the lilmnrnts, The spjiilir bears a number of flowen* which are nearly 

 scentless. In the ParadUw Londinemi*, Mr- Salisbury names this plant 

 "Pancratium Ncrvirolium''butsay$ he believes ii h» be tin* true P. Amboinense 

 of l-iimu'iis which latter name i* also adopted by the Messrs. Siutruun, of 

 the Liverpool Botanic Garden, from a plant in which collection this drawing 

 was made. Native of the bland of Amlioyua. Probably the same as the 

 Crinom Nervosum of Dr- Pkrsoox, Mr, Hmbert founds his genu* of Proipliys* 

 on some singularity in the fructification of this plant, which he says has been 

 named Eurtfrfrs by Mr- Salisbury in the Horticultural Transaction, and 

 this name is given to it by Professor Lin d lev in the Encychp&diq of
