the neareft to Pancratium Amancaes (fee No. 1220 of this 

 work) of any other of the genus yet known to us. 



We are informed that bulbs of this plant were received, to- 

 gether with many others, from the Brafils, by Lady Amelia 

 Hjume, in the year 1796. We are obliged to Sir Abraham 

 Hume for the prefent fpecimen. In that gentleman's hot-houfe, 

 at Wormleybury, the plant blooms every year, in March and 

 April. Monf r Redoute, who has figured and defcribed (he 

 fpecies, tells us, that it is cultivated in the celebrated collection 

 of Monf r Cels, at Paris ; and that the place of its fpontaneous 

 abode is unknown. His fpecimen, judging from the figure, 

 was ftronger and more perfect than the one we received. G.
