Trufting to the accuracy of the defcription and figure of 

 Hypoxis juncea in the Spicilegium by Dr. Sx\iith, there ap- 

 pear to us to be diftin&ions fufficient to require its fpecific 

 feparation from erecla ; the plant is altogether flenderer ; the 

 fcapes are one-flowered, ebra&eate, longer in proportion to 

 the leaves and reddifh upwards ; leaves not hairy on their inner 

 fide, petals of the corolla having a reddifh ftreak on the out- 

 fide, concave, and not flatly expanded ; ftigma feathery and 



longer
