the expansion of the flowers, which remains green and erect 

 in fulgidum, and the more numerous ovules. 



The name of Amaryllis having been given by Linnaeus 

 originally to Belladonna with a reason assigned, it has been 

 thought expedient to leave the name Amaryllis to that 

 plant and its congeners ; and to detach the occidental 

 group (to which as more numerous it had been proposed to 

 preserve the known appellation), under the name of Hip- 

 peastrum, or Knight's-star lily, following the idea which 

 suggested the name equestre for one of the species. See 

 Appendix, Prelim, treatise and article Hippeastrum. W. H.
