The rather flaccid leaves reach nearly 14 feet in length, with 
a breadth of about 8 lines near the middle; there are 4—5 fairly 
conspicuous nerves on either side the midrib, which, like the 
margins, is densely villose. The back of the leaves is also 
villose, while the upper surface is only sparsely hairy. The 
peduncle is about 1 foot long below the short corymbose 
4-flowered inflorescence (1? in. long) ; the upper part is clothed 
with the long ascending whitish hairs, 14-2 lines long, such as 
occur also on the bracts and flowers. The slender bracts are 
about Lin. long, the lower flower-pedicels reach an inch. The 
outer perianth-seg:nents are villose on the back, and 7 lines long 
by 12 broad, the inner are villose only where unprotected on 
the back by the former, and are 6 lines long by 21 broad. The 
short, strong, pointed filaments are 13 line long; the long 
sagittate anthers 33 lines. The ovary is 21 lines long. ‘The 
capsule is about 4-3 in. long ; the smooth dully polished roundish 
black seeds are 1 line long. Of similar habit to the last species, 
but differs in its shorter, more linear-lanceolate leaves and few- 
flowered corymbose inflorescence. 
CRINUM, sp. 
Material much damaged; evidently a fine plant. Leaves 
14-2 ft. long, and nearly 2 in. broad from a narrower base; 
flowers 7-8 in. long; the long perianth-tube broadening above ;
