206 AMARYLLIDEZ (Baker). [Brunsvigia, 
segments; ovary turbinate, } in. long ; styledeclinate. Kunth, Enum: 
v. 609; Baker, Handb. Amaryllid. 97. 
Sourn ArFrica : without locality. 
Described from the figure cited, which was drawn from a plant that flowered 
in London with Mr. Tate in 1829. Cooper’s 1530 from the division of Albany, 
and a specimen of old date received from Prof. MacOwan, perhaps belong here ; 
but in both cases the leaf is absent. Herbert’s var. banksiana is no doubt 
founded on a mis-matching of leaf and flower.

in, diam, ; tunics membranous, pale brown ; leaves 6, lorate, suberect,
