very same form of Hippeasrrum solandriflorum which is 
figured by Dr. Linptey in his “ Collectanea Botanica.” 
Mr. Herserr, indeed, considers that the leaves are nar- 
rower and the stigmas shorter and smaller, but on com- 
paring the two figures very little difference will be found. 
Descr. Bulb broadly ovate, brown. Leaves rather nar- 
row, ligulate, keeled below, blunt at the apex, about a 
foot long. Scape two feet high, terete, somewhat angled 
above, in our specimen two-flowered. Spatha of two acu- 
minated leaves, soon withering. Pedicels short, curved. 
Flowers drooping, very large. —Perianth eight to ten inches 
long. Tube very long, slender, pale green ; the limb some- 
what spreading : the segments oblong, rather acute, dingy 
sulphur, or cream-coloured, greenish at the middle of the 
back, Stamens rather unequal, shorter than the style. 
Filaments arising from the top of the tube, monadelphous 
at the base, white. Anthers oblong, yellow. Germen oval, 
triangular. Style shorter than the stamens. Stigma small, 
of three obtuse lobes.
