Zycoreratum Murrayanum. Gardn. MSS, 
This new Zycoreratum has been lately discovered with — 
many other treasures in the Organ Mountains of Brazil, by 
Mr. Garpner, and has been named by him in compliment | 
to his steady friend Mr. Stewart Murray of the Glasgow 
Botanic Garden, under whose skilful management, the 
bulbs sent by Mr. Garver about the middle of last year 
blossomed in the early part of Winter. In the Organ 
Mountains, it is found at an elevation of about four thou- 
sand feet above the level of the sea.
