at the base, the two lateral ones the largest, denticulated, all 

 slightly acuminated in the middle, the two inner segments 

 longer than the others, lanceolate, having denticulate wings 

 towards their bases, of the same colour as the outer seg- 

 ments at their apices, lower down being marked with red- 

 dish veins, above the middle on a yellow, below it on a 

 pink ground, at the lower part of which there are a few 

 oblong orange spots. Sta?nens six ; filaments as long as 

 the outer segments of the perianth, and of a similar colour, 

 flattened, at the base triangular, and glanduloso-pubescent, 

 twisted when decaying : anthers erect, large, cordate, flat- 

 tened, mucronulate : pollen pale brown, discharged in the 

 same way as in the other plants of this Genus. Stigmas 

 three, revolute, pink : style three-cornered, tapering upwards 

 from its greenish, persisting base ; colourless below, becom- 

 ing pink towards the stigmas: Germen as in A. pelegrina. 



This remarkably beautiful species, the colours of whose 

 inflorescence harmonize together more than in any other 

 cultivated Alstiuemeria, blossomed first in the collection 

 of Mr. Neill, at Canonmills, in July, 1829. Graham.
