I believe it to be impossible to discriminate between Hamilton’s H. 
coccineum and Roxburgh’s H. angustifolium, except in their fresh state ; 
and after all, they may possibly be one and the same species. The 
former is a taller glaucous plant, with leaves generally tapering from 
their pointed base into an acuminate apex; they are less rigidly bifa- 
rious and the spike less sexfarious than in the latter—H. elatum, car- 
neum, and stenopetalum, are only varieties of H. coccineum, and I have 
accordingly united them under 8. Roscoe’s and Loddiges’ H. car- 
neum seems rather to come under the normal form. 
16. H. Hasseltii ; foliis lanceolatis acuminatis glabris, spicà elongata 
patente laxe imbricata, spathis obtusis sericeis, fasciculis solitariis 
2—3-floris, tubo corolle limbo triplo longiore, laciniis subzequalibus 
lineari-lanceolatis, labelli 2-partiti segmentis falcato-lanceolatis ob- 
tuse acuminatis (Blume).
