nerved lines, the intervals being fomewhat raifed, flightly 
undate, glaucous, ambient, fafcicled, from upright diverging, 
towards their bafe mutually convolute-fheathing, traverfed 
longitudinally by a fubcarinate midrib, inner ones longett ; 
Scape central, cylindrical, about as high or a little higher than 
thefe, green, coloured downwards by thickfet red dots; raceme 
terminal, {piked, many-flowered, clofe, reflexed-imbricate, 
oblong, faftigiate, ufually terminated by a fort of coma of 
fterile 4raéZes, thefe are membranous convolute-concave, fub- 
ulate, longer than the filiform pedicles though fhorter than the 
flowers ; corollas cernuous, mutually incumbent, whitifh with 
red {pots, from an inch to an inch and half long, fubclavately- 
tubular, fubgibbofely enlarged near their middle, where they 
are flightly curved; /imé very fhort, upright-patulous, toothedly 
fix-parted ; /egments ovate, obtufe, flightly attenuated, tips of 
the inner ones infleéted, of the outer recurved-patent, thefe 
laft are alfo: broader and fhorter ; filaments filiform-fubulate, 
about the length of the tube, as far as to the middle of which 
they are decurrently adnate, then detached, alternate ones ~ 
fomewhat the fhorteft ; anthers {mall, fagittate-ovate, inferted 
at their bafe, upright, even with the bafe of the limb ; germen 
green, oblong-oval, prifmformed, hexagonally fulcate; /yle. 
about twice the length of this, rather higher than ftamens, 
flender, triquetral-fubulate, declined, upwards twifted, hookedly 
bent ; /ligma a mere point. In our fpecimen the upper part 
of the inner coats of the Bulb were membranoufly attenuated 
and extended into a kind of rootfheaths of a red colour; but 
this does not feem to be always the cafe. A hardy green- 
houfe plant of eafy culture, blooming about November ot 
December. . 
The drawing of this rare {pecies was made at the Nurfery 
of Meffrs. Gisss, who received it two years fince from the 
Cape of Good Hope, from whence it had beem introduced 
into Kew gardens by Mr. Wincu in 1781. G.
