C. verecundum, which is round, and about the size of ame- _ 
num. He states it to increase so slowly, that he possesses _ 
but one other bulb of it, probably the only other in culti- — 
vation. He has also sent us two spontaneous mule Crina, _ 
produced in his garden, one from Capense, the other from 
Canalifolium. The greater part of the known Crina being 
now collected in his garden, it must be expected that they 
will frequently intermix their pollen. T'o the 30 hybrid 
Crina, enumerated p. 2592 and append. p. 27, may be 
added some in the stove of Anruony Bacon, Esq. from sey- 
lanicum, apparently by erubescens, though his gardener, as 
we think, erroneously states them to be by amabile. C. zey- 
lanico-pedunculatum has flowered at Highclere, having in 
every respect the appearance of an inferior variety of ama- 
bile, with smaller and paler flowers, fully confirming our 
suspicion that amabile is a mule, between <eylanicum and 
some large species, probably procerum. We have found 
the pollen o Amabile augustum, and submersum always — 
sterile. In our account of C, macrocarpon, p..2231, by an 
error of the press, Ranjoor is printed for Rangoon. The- 
feature by which Crina, when not in flower, may be most 
easily distinguished, is, the point of the leaf, which varies 
very little'in different individuals of the same species, or the 
same hybrid intermixture. From the point of the leaf we 
decide, that Mr. Bacon’s mules cannot be by amabile. 
ew plants exceed in beauty C. Seabro-capense planted out 
against the front wall of a stove, where it will produce 
_ about five flower-stems yearly, with fifteen or eichteen 
flowers on each. We have often had seed from mules be- 
tween the old Crina and the portion longifolie of the plants 
united to Crinum from Amaryllis, but no advance to fruc- 
tification from mules between longifolie and ornate ; which 
shews how little those, who resisted their union wi . 
Crinum and retained them in genus Amaryllis, understood 
their real affinities. W. H. + i | ¢
