having a corymbofely faftigiate raceme ; a corolla more cam- 

 panulately concave, and a ftyle fhorter than its germen, with a 

 fomewhat larger ftigma. Aureum (No. 190) has a larger tri- 

 lobate ftigma than any of them, with a ftyle that is nearly ob- 

 foiete. The ftem of the prefent fpecies is fometimes two ieet 

 high with a very numerous crowded raceme ; the corolla is 

 an inch and half or more in diameter, and feems to clofe 

 over the germen fooner than in any other of the genus known 

 to us ; nor is it ever flatly expanded. 



Our drawing was made from a comparatively weak and few- 

 flowered fpecimen. This is one of the few Cape of Good 

 Hope plants mentioned by the earlier Botanifts ; Clusius 

 received a fpecimen, by a Dutch fhip that had touched at the 

 Cape, fo far back as 1 605. 



Communicated by Mr. Salisbury, of the Botanic-Gardens, 

 Brompton and Sloane-Streer, who received the roots from 

 John Baker, Efq. Lower Grofvenor-Street, a fteady patron 

 of thofe inflitutions from their firft eftablifhment. G.
