feet long, brownish. Umbel few-flowered ; spathe-valves 
two broad, ovate; pedicels very short. Perianth with a 
cylindrical reddish-green tube four inches long, which is 
finally more or less curved, and a pure white permanently 
funnel-shaped limb of the same length, of which the oblan- 
ceolate-oblong acute lobes spread at the tip when the 
flower is fully expanded. Stamens declinate, an inch 
shorter than the perianth-limb; filaments white ; anthers 
small, whitish. Style declinate, entire, rather longer than 
the stamens.—J. G. Baker.
