WH. 
Gtapiotus Mortonius. Herbert, MSS. 
A new species, from the East coast of Southern Africa, 
for the drawing and character of which, we are indebted to 
the Hon. and Rev. Wituiam Herserr of Spofforth, who, 
we are happy to say, is devoting the same attention to the 
Iripeg, which he has lately paid to the AMArYLupes, and 
we trust the public will derive the same advantage from 
the result of his labours, by the publication of them also. 
That gentleman received the plant from Messrs. Roxztsons, 
and named it in compliment to the person who sent it to 
this country. He observes that, in the posture of its 
flowers, it belongs to the European and Natal-river species, 
and seems to have some affinity to Guaproxus oppositiflorus, 
(Hers. Amaryl. p. 366.,) but is not half so tall.
