Desc. Leaves on the upper fuiTace of an opaque dull green, 

 rough to the touch ; on the under, of a finning yeliowifh green, 

 longcll of the two about five inches long and four broad ; /cape 

 about fix inches high, together with the umbel and Jpathe of an 

 uniform deep fcarlet colour. Blooms in Auguft ; foliage full 

 grown in November and December. We loft the opportunity 

 of examining any part of the plant, but the bulb and 

 leaves. A new and undefcribed fpecies, lately introduced by 

 Mr. Griffin, from the Cape of Good Hope, in whofe con- 

 fervatory at South-Lambeth it flowered for the firft time in 

 Auguft laft. We fufpecl that this gentleman's collection con- 

 tains more rare and beautiful Liliacete and Enfattf, than all the 

 private colleflions round London together, while the liberal 

 communications of the pofTeffor renders it a benefit to fcience. 

 We omitted to mention in No. 1611, of the fafciculus for laft 

 month, that the fpecies there given (Lac hen alia bifolia) had 

 been introduced from the Cape of Good Hope by the fame 

 gentleman, and that our drawing was made from a fpecimen that 

 flowered in his garden laft fummer. G.
