IXIA capillaris.y. (aulica Hort. Kew.) G. 
This is a mere variety of the above fpecies, though made a 
diftin@ one in the Hortus Kewen/is, under the name of aulica. 
The Bulb-tubers of the feveral varieties differ much in the 
thicknefs of the fibres, of which their reticulated coverings — 
are compofed, as well as in the fize of the mefhes. Our {pe- 
cimen had been very recently imported from the Cape of Good 
Hope, for the colle&tion-of Mr. Hissert at Clapham. The 
leaves are ufually much longer than in our figure, and their 
Cartilaginous edge often very confpicuous, but fometimes 
again quite obfolete. G.
