is satisfied that Revouri’s plant is the same as that of 
Domery. But in the ovate, or almost oblong bulb, in 
the several linear leaves, springing from the top of the 
old bulb, in the shape of the flower, and especially its 
dingy saffron-colour, there appears to me to be very strik- 
ing differences between Repourts’s species and our’s. It 
is to be observed, however, that the French author has not 
made his figure from the living plant, nor from the plant at 
all; but, as he has acknowledged, copied it from the col- 
lection of vellum drawings in the Museum of the Jardin des 
Plantes at Paris. 
Descr. Old Bulb globose, leafless: in some of our 
plants, a young bulb springs from the side of the old one, 
terminated by a single, lanceolate leaf, tapering below into 
a petiole, the margin slightly reflexed. Scape from the 
top of the old bulb, a foot and more high, terete, bear- 
ing an umbel of about seven flowers. Spatha of two mem- 
branous, lanceolate leaves. Perianth of a bright, reddish 
orange colour, nearly two inches long; for one-third of its 
length at the base cylindrical, narrow, then gradually 
widening into a cylindraceo-campanulate limb ; lacinia six, 
ovate, erecto-patent. Stamens six, alternating with as 
many linear-oblong nectaries, which are situated at the 
mouth of the tube. Stamens and style much exserted. 
Germen oval.
