Zephyranthes Conzattii. Bulbs globose, 2 to 2.5 cm. in diame- 

 ter, covered with dark brown scales; neck about 2 cm. long: leaves pro- 

 duced after the flowers: peduncle about 15 to 18 dm. long: spathes 2.5 

 to 3 cm. long, tubular below ; valves lance-attenuate : pedicel slender, 3 

 to 4.5 cm. in length: perianth, in the dried state, rose-colored or crimson- 

 purple in the bud, 5 to 7 cm. in length; tube short, 6 to 8 mm. long, 

 with a lacerated ring in the throat; divisions oblanceolate, 1 to 1.5 cm. 

 broad : stamens of two lengths, the alternating ones longer and shorter 

 respectively, declinate ; anthers strongly lunate: the declinate style ex- 

 ceeding the stamens ; stigmas deeply 3-cleft ; lobes revolute : fruit not 

 seen. — Collected by Professor C. Conzatti, Valley of Oaxaca, altitude 

 1550 m., 19 April, 1896, no. 98. 



A species in some respects corresponding to the description of the 

 little known Z. lllacina^ Liebm., but with pedicels much shorter than are 

 attributed to that species. 



Zephyranthes Nelsonii. Bulbs ovate, 1 to 2 cm. in diameter, 

 covered with dark brown scales; neck 1.5 to 2.5 cm. long: leaves 

 developed with the flowers, 5 to 15 cm. in length, 2 mm. or less wide, 

 glabrous, obtuse: scape 5 to 12 cm. high : 1-flowered spathe 15 to 18 mm. 

 long, scarious, often tinged with a pale rose color, tubular for about two 

 thirds its length, bifid above, the divisions lance-attenuate: pedicel 12 to 

 20 mm. in length : perianth narrowly funnelform, white with a very 

 slight tinge of rose, about 2.5 cm. high; tube slender, 6 to 7 mm. in 

 length ; divisions oblanceolate, 6 to 7 mm. broad, strongly nerved : 

 stamens nearly equal, about two thirds as long as the perianth ; anthers 

 4 to 5 mm. long : style overtopping the stamens ; stigmas shortly 3- 

 lobed : capsule about 5 mm. high, nearly twice as broad, glabrous. — 

 Collected by E. W. Nelson, near Santa Domingo, Oaxaca, altitude 500 

 m., 18 June, 1895, no. 2711 a; also between San Ricardo and Ocozucu- 

 antla, Chiapas, altitude 800 to 1000 m., 18 August, 1895, no. 2983. 



A species with much the habit of Z. texana, Herb., but with a much 

 longer more pronounced perianth-tube, and less divided stigmas. Our 

 plant may eventually prove to be the same as the Z. Lindleyana, Herb., 

 but the flowers are somewhat smaller than are ascribed to that species 

 in the original description, and certainly our plant does not well accord 

 with the description of Z. Lindleyana, Herb., as drawn by Baker in his 

 Handb. Amaryll. 32.
