This new Hucharis will, no doubt, be a very popular 
plant. It has completely the habit and foliage.of the well- 
known LHucharis grandiflora, but the corona is almost 
entirely adnate to the dilated upper portion of the perianth- 
tube, leaving only a narrow collar-like free border, upon 
which the distinct portion of the filaments is inserted. It 
comes from the same country as H. grandiflora and candida, 
and requires similar treatment. It was introduced by 
Messrs. J. Sander and Co., of St. Albans, after whom it is 
named, in March, 1882. The bulbs with which they 
supplied us flowered at Kew in November and December, 
and it was from one of these that the accompanying figure 
was drawn. 
Descr. Bulbs ovoid, one and a half or two inches in 
diameter, with brown tunics and a short distinct neck. 
Leaves two to a scape; petiole four or six inches long, 
flattened on the face ; blade cordate-ovate, cuspidate, eight 
or ten inches long, five or six inches broad, membranous in 
texture, quite glabrous, bright green on the face, pale green
