even two branches ; corolla largifh efpecially as to its outer 

 fegments ; ungues Itraight, cuneate, concave, about the length 

 of the germen, tomentofe on the inner fide, turbinately con- 

 verging; laminae much longer than thefe, ovately rounded, 

 geniculate-recurved ; inner fegments about equal to the ungues 

 of the outer, narrow, cuneate ; laminae very diminutive, tri- 

 dentately parted, middle tooth linear, longeft, ftraight or in- 

 curved, and fometimes twilled ; ftigmas petaloid, divergent, 

 reaching beyond the ungues, 3 — 4 times longer than the ftyle, 

 fpathulate-obovate or fubcuneate, outer lip bipartite, fubre. 

 curved; filaments connate their whole length, and about the 

 length of the anthers which are nearly three times fhorter than 

 the ftigmas. Without fcent. 



The remarkable i'pot at the bafe of the outer laminae of (3, 

 which bears fome kind of refemblance to that on the tail- 

 feathers of the peacock, probably led Mr. Curtis into the 

 miftake that this was Thunberg's Iris pavout'a, a beau- 

 tiful fpecies that has flowered with Mr. Hibbert and at 

 Kew, but of which we have never yet been able to obtain a 

 drawing. 



Found at the Cape, by Thunberg, growing abundantly 

 on the hills below Duyvelfberg, in Swartland, and near 

 Berg-River: |3 was introduced into Kew-Gardens in 1776, 

 by Masson, and is now very common: 4 was imported 

 this year with many other bulbs from the Cape, by Mr. Col. 

 ville of the King's-Road. Both blow freely when the bulbs 

 are of proper age and propagate very abundantly. G,
