Eucharis grandiflora, figured at Plate 4971 (better known 
as L. amazonica), and HH. candida, Planch, were for many 
years the only recorded species of the genus. Seven are _ 
now known, all natives of the Andes of Columbia, and all 
having the same characters of habit and foliage. I am 
indebted to Mr. J. G. Baker, F.RB.S., for the following 
‘resumé of them. Of these seven, H. subedentata, Benth. 
Caliphruria edentata, Baker in Bot. Mag. t. 6289) may be 
recognized at a glance by its small flowers. EB. Sandervi, 
Baker (in Bot. Mag. t. 6676) differs from all of the other 
fine large-Alowered species in the staminal cup being almost 
wholly adnate to the tube of the perianth. E. Lehmannt, 
Regel (in Gartenfi. t. 1300, f. 1) has two very large teeth 
on either side of the free part of the filament. © EH. Mastersii, 
Baker (in Bot. Mag. t. 6831) has only a very narrow free 
Staminal tube; it may be a hybrid between grandiflora and 
Sanderii, EH. candida, Planch. (in Flora des Serres, t. 788) 
has much smaller flowers than H. grandiflora or Bakeriana, 
together with nearly free filaments, that are quadrate at 
the base. H, grandiflora, Planch. (in Bot. Mag. t. 4971 
E. amazonica, Hort. Lind.), the best known species, has 
large flowers and a broad staminal tube, with the lobes 
connate nearly throughout. Lastly L. Bakeriana has,
