This is the moft robuft as well as clofeft flowered f{pecies of 
any of the genus yet known to us. We have not met with 
the red-flowered plant in any of our colle€tions; but Monf. 
Repours, who has publifhed it in his “ Liliacees* under the 
name of latifolia, fays, that he received it from Mr. Woop- 
Forn’s colleftion in this country, by the name of PircairNia 
racemofa, and that it came originally from the Welft-Indies. 
The yellow flowered plant now given, is a native of the Ifland 
- of St. Vincent, whence it was introduced by Mr. Evans 
about 1799. We agree with the editor of the fecond edition 
of the Hortus Kewenfis in the belief that the two plants are 
mére varieties of each other. : 
The ftem of our fpecimen was about two feet high, and 
towards the bafe about the thicknefs of a man’s finger. 
Requires to be kept in the bark bed of a ftove, where it 
blooms early in the fummer. Flowers about an inch and a 
half long ; fcentlefs ; three or four expanding at a time, and 
decaying in the fpace of a few hours. Propagated by
