and Ireland. Our drawing was made from a plant that 
flowered at Kew in June, 1894. 
Descr.—Stem shortly produced below the rosette of 
leaves, two or three inches in diameter. eaves thirty or 
forty in a dense rosette, lanceolate, acuminate, glaucous, 
four or five feet long, five or six inches broad near the 
base, narrowed gradually to a long point, without any 
acute keel on the back, strongly and closely denticulate 
on the edges. Peduncle very stout, much shorter than 
the leaves. aceme dense, oblong, half a foot to a foot 
long; pedicels very short, deflexed, clavate ; bracts ovate- 
navicular, longer than the pedicels. Perianth subcylindri- 
cal, constricted a little above the ovary, an inch or rather 
more long, pale yellow when mature, in an early stage 
more or less tinged with red; lobes short, suborbicular, 
obtuse. Stamens half as long again as the perianth. 
Ovary ovoid; style very long, overtopping the anthers.—
