1. C.pulchella (Benth.); umbellis 2-3-floris, pedunculis bracteis brevioribus, floribus 

 globosis, petalis ovatis obtusis serrulato-fimbriatis fovea valde excavata extus callosa, sepalis

Flowers yellow, the sepals greenish and striated with green. 



2. C. alba {Benth.); umbella 2-3-flora, pedunculis bracteis brevioribus, floribus oblongis 

 inflatis, petalis ovatis obtusissimis margine nudiusculis fovea leviter impressa sepalis ovato- 

 lanceolatis duplo longioribus. Benth. in Hort. Soc. Trans. N. S. I. p. 413. t. 14./ 3 ; 

 Lindl. in Bot. Beg. t. 1661. — Calochortus albus. Dough 



Flowers white. Sepals of a yellowish-green. The flowers do not appear to us to be oblong, but when 

 expanded to be broadly ovate, nearly as in C. pulchetta. 



3. C.paniculata (Lindl.); floribus solitariis, pedunculis bracteis subaequalibus floribus 

 oblongis ; petalis angustis obtusis subciliatis dimidia superiore calvis fovea leviter exca- 

 vata sepalis ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis duplo longioribus. Lindl. in Bot. Reg. sub t. 

 1662. 



Prsecedenti affinis ; caule, panicula, floribus solitariis, pedunculis bracteis longioribus, alabastris angustis 

 cseterisque satis distincta. Flores albi. Lindl. I. c— Of this we know nothing, unless it prove to be a mere 

 form of C. alba, with which it appears to us to agree in almost every important character, as well as in the 

 white flowers.
