Scarcely to be diftinguifhed from minor but by its more 

 robuft Mature and upright growth, as alfo perhaps by a bulb 

 more apt to produce numerous offsets and fomcwhat fmaller 

 in proportion to the plant than that of minor ; hence we may 

 refer our readers to the defcription of that fpecies given p. 720. 

 Our plant was formerly thought to be of Canadian origin, 

 but is now well known to be a native of the Cape of Good 

 Hope; was introduced here by Mr. William Malcolm, in 

 1767. Our drawing was made at Mr. Salisbury's Botanic 

 Garden, Brompton. G.
