This handfome plant is a native of the Cape of Good Hope ; 

 and was originally introduced into the Kew-Gardens by 

 Mr. Masson, in 1774; but the fpecimen, from which our 

 drawing has been made, was imported by Mr. Hibbert, with 

 Whom it flowered five or fix years ago ; the leaves were de- 

 cayed when feen by our draughtfman, and we fear the bulb has 

 fince fhared their fate, as we have fought for it in vain in the 

 fame collection. 



Leaves narrow, quite linear ; ftalk purple-brown ; um- 

 bel (in thofe plants which have bloomed in this country) four 

 to fix flowered; corolla narrow-turbinate, recurvedly patent 

 full as far as the middle, white fufFufed with different fliades
