free from the tube one-eighth instead of one-sixteenth, and 
the style shorter than the tube. They both differ from the 
Genus Zepnyrantues,.in having anthers subulate before 
their inversion, erect, and not versatile, and in the deformity 
of the pollen, which in Zernyranrues is acutely oval. The 
remarkable long tube which distinguishes these two species, 
is perhaps not essential to the Genus; and Zepuyranrues 
candida (supra 2607) which refuses to breed with Zepuy- 
ranTHES, differing from it, and agreeing with Cooperia in 
the more important points, will probably be found to 
belong to another section of this Genus. Cooperta Drum- 
mond has the leaves twelve or thirteen inches long, about 
one-twelfth wide ; the tube four inches and a half, red ; the 
limb five-eighths, lined with red on the outside ; the fila- 
ments free, one-sixteenth only; the style longer than the 
tube, shorter than the anthers. 
There is a third Coopsria amongst Drummonp’s bulbs, 
which has not yet flowered ; and it is uncertain whether it 
will prove different from C. chlorosolen or not, There is 
also a Zepuyrantues, of which the flower is known by his 
specimens, which it is proposed to call Texana. 
Z. Texana, foliis viridibus, rectis, infra lineam latis, flore 
pedunculato luteo, extus cupreo. : 
The Genus Cooprreria is named, in compliment to Mr. 
Coorrr, who has during a very long course of years had the 
superintendence of the rich collection of plants which he has 
brought together at Wentworth House, the seat of Earl 
Firzwituiam, in Yorkshire. 
The point of the perianth was not naked at the first ap- 
pearance of the bud, as seems usual with ZeruyranvuHes : it 
was yellowish before it acquired its full size, turning gra- 
dually to clear white. W. H.
