233. W. H. 
This fine plant flowered at the beginning of April, with 
upwards of a hundred flowers, the head becoming ultimately 
almost spherical, in the stove at Spofforth, where it had 
stood the whole year in a hot situation, having been left 
dry through the winter. The bulb had been received at 
Rio Janeiro from Mozambic, and was sent from thence to 
the Hon. W. Fox Srraneways, by whom it was forwarded 
to Spofforth. There appears nothing to distinguish it from _ 
Forres’s Delagoa specimen described H. Am. 233, except 
the tube being half as long again, but Mozambic peng 
within
