- Leaves refembling thofe of Trironta crocata, from which 
as well as from /gualida and miniata it differs in having the 
three outer alternate fegments gibbous towards their bafe and 
bearing inwards a tawny-black fpot furnifhed with a ridge- 
& like excrefcence, and further from the two firft in not 
ving any part of its ungues tranfparent or hyaline. Tube 
rather fhorter than the fpathe. Limb campanulate; laminz 
of the fegments ovate, blunt, patent, inner fegments ftraighter s 
organs of fruttification inclined-affurgent, nearly equal, much 
ne fhorter than limb. From many well-preferved indigenous 
~ fpecimens we find it is but little altered by culture in our 
gardens. The tunic of the bulb is darker than in crocata. 
This fpecies was firft defined by Dr. Sovanper in Hort. Kew. 
where we learn that it was introduced by Mr.Masson.
