This is a plant which has been in English gardens for 
many years, and in the absence of flowers has passed for 
Eucharis candida. “Lately it has flowered at several places 
almost simultaneously, and it turns out to be no Lucharis at 
all; but a near neighbour of the Calliphruria Hartwegiana 
which was figured in the Botanical Magazine last year (tab. 
6259). The present plant, however, differs materially from 
C. Hartwegiana in the filaments, in which the toothing is some- 
times entirely wanting, so that for the botanical systematist it 
forms an awkward connecting link between the tribes Amary/- 
idee and Pancratiee. he Eucharis candida which was dis- 
tributed by Mr. William Bull in 1876, and which was 
figured in his catalogue for that year, is the true plant so 
called by Planchon. The present plate was made from a 
specimen sent by Mr. G. R. Sheath, which flowered in the 
garden of M. H. Beaufoy, Esq., at South Lambeth in De- 
cember, 1876. : 
Duscr. Bulb ovoid, one and a half inch in diameter, with 
a few brown membranous tunics. eaves about four to a 
bulb, cotemporary with the flowers; petiole nearly a foot 
long, channelled down the face; blade oblong, acute, bright
