A native of the Cape of Good Hope ; flowers freely in the 

 greenhoufe ; but is of too little beauty to be much cultivated; 

 quite fcentlefs. The bulb is tunicate, roundifh, and covered 

 with a dark fkin. Leaves nearly equal to the fcape and lax. 

 Flowers about three parts of an inch in length, nearly four times 

 longer than their pedicles. Parts of fructification about equal 

 to the outer petals and fubaflurgent. Style rather longer 

 than the petals. Stigma capitate, villofe ? The blifters on 

 the leaves are a very inconftant character and vary in the 

 fame fpecies, as may be feen in our account of Lachenalia 

 purpuro-c<erulea ,- but we have never feen any individuals or 

 this fpecies without them.
