upper leaves, on long suberect pedicels. Perianth yellow; segments 
narrowly oblong, with a linear nectary on the claw. Stamens rather 
shorter than the perianth. Ovary oblong, shortly stipitate; style

May bea Gloriosa, as the perianth-segments are said to reflex, but I have not 
seen any specimen. 
35. WALLERIA, Kirk; Benth. et Hook. f. Gen. Plant. iii. 831. 
Perianth adnate to the base of the ovary; segments free above the 
adnate base, spreading, equal, oblong-lanceolate, laxly many-nerved. 
Stamens 6, inserted at the base of the segments of the perianth ; 
filaments very short; anthers large, linear, persistently connivent in a 
cone, dehiscing by apical pores. Ovary globose, 3-celled; ovules many, 
superposed; style subulate; stigma small, capitate. Mature capsule 
and seeds unknown.—Rootstock tuberous. Stems erect, with many 
spaced out leaves. Flowers usually single, on pedicels from the axils of 
many of the leaves, 
One species extends to the Transvaal. 
Probably the best place for this is in Hamodoracee besides Cyanella and 
Conanthera,
