The Glasgow Garden is indebted to J OHN M‘Leay, Esq., 
of Lima for the bulbs which produced this handsome and 
delightfully fragrant Amancazs, and which Mr. Herserr 
considers to be a new species, worthy of bearing the name 
of the liberal gentleman through whose means we 
it. Its nearest affinity is with 1. pedunculata, (Herb. 
Amaryll. p. 222. t. 35. f. 2.,) from which it is distinguished 
by the above characters. It flowers readily in the stove, 
and makes a very handsome appearance. rot ei:
