buted bulbs of it freely to our principal English cultivators, 

 and it is found to seed freely, no doubt it will soon become 

 well known. Our drawing was made from plants flowered 

 by Mr. F. \V. Burbidge, in the Botanic Garden of Trinity 

 College, Dublin, this present spring. 



Descr. Bulb globose, half an inch in diameter; outer 

 tunics whitish. Leaves generally two, sometimes three to 

 a bulb, linear, suberect, greenish, deeply channelled down 

 the face, broadly keeled, and the keel margined with two 

 raised edges, down the back. Scape subterete, always 

 single-flowered, half a foot or a foot long ; pedicel almost 

 always cernuous, so short that the spathe is pushed back 

 by the reflexing segments when the flower expands. Ovary 

 turbinate ; perianth-tube very short, obconic ; segments 

 narrow oblong, lemon-yellow, nearly an inch long, strongly 

 reflexed from the base. Corona as long as or a little longer 

 than the segments, rather deeper in colour, nearly equal 

 in diameter throughout ; edge erect, distinctly crenate. 

 Stamens inserted at the throat of the tube, erect, connivent, 

 more than half as long as the corona. Style reaching 

 generally to the tip of the anthers. Capsule turbinate, 

 nearly an inch long. — </. G. Baker.
