Descr. Bulb round-oval, white, Leaves lorate, recurved, 
obtuse, strongly streaked on both sides. Scape longer than 
the leaves, erect, rounded, very slightly tinged with purple ; 
in the specimens we have seen, two-flowered. Flowers large, 
very shewy, of a minium cvlour, many-streaked, irregular ;_ 
three outer lacinie broader than the inner, the upper one 
broadest and rolled back, the lowest scarcely exceeding half 
the width of the uppermost. Tube very short, and from its 
mouth, more than a third-part up the lacinie, a white star 
streaked with green. Stamens and style declined ; filaments 
much incurvyed at the point, alternate ones somewhat shorter ; 
anthers white, eat the back. We did not remark the scaleg 
betwixt each filament, described by Ruiz and Pavon, but they 
may nevertheless exist. Germen nearly orbicular-trigonous : 
style the length of the stamens: stigma three-cleft. __ | 
_ It has a near affinity with rutilg of Ker, Bot. Reg. 23. but 
differs in the greater size and colour of the corolla, mm the star 
being white streaked with green, divided into a number of 
mys like the star of the orders of the garter and bath, not all 
and with a defined border asin that. coe.
