Bulbs of this very rare species were received at Kew in 1821, to 
which garden alone, in Europe, were they sent from New South Wales. 
In the course of the following year they flowered in the stove; and the 
ns appearing soon afterwards in a nursery-garden where it also pro- 
uced flowers, a figure was published of it in the Botanical Register, 
where it was described, as a species closely allied to PancratTiuM 
amboinense, but differing in having a corona “ six-parted to the very 
bottom.” As the plant, under the culture it met with, produced no 
offsets from the roots, and was not to be propagated otherwise, it was, 
at the fourth year after its introduction, lost to Britain—the bulbs which 
progressively decreased in size, becoming eventually dried up. Nor 
are they very likely to be reintroduced to our Collections, for the plant 
has not been found in any part of New South Wales, hitherto visited, 
as inaccurately stated in the work just referred to, but was observed 
sparingly, in the voyage of Captain P. P. Kine, on the small, uninha- 
bited, sandy island above named, at which, there is no inducement 
~ sing ships to touch, since it furnishes but little firewood, and no 
esh water.
