This fpecies is remarkable for having only one leaf; the 

 other chara&eriftics are fully given in the above fpecihc de- 

 scription. The bra6tes are membranous and far fhorter than 

 the pedicles. The Stigma fimple. Quite fcentlels. 



Our drawing was made at Mr. Wooofok'd's, by whom the 

 bulb was imported from the Cape, as we fuppofe, for the firlt 

 time into this country. Requires the treatment of the hardier 

 Cape bulbs, that is mere protection from froft, and from too 

 much wet in the winter. G.
