Plate I. 





The Fire-Lily of Victoria Falls. (Buphane disticha (L. f.) Herbert, 



S. P. I. No. 49256.) 



This plant is one of the most brilliant in the amarvllis family, a group of noteworthy ornamentals. 

 TheelTeet of the huge clusters is like that of so many splotches of flame, in moister air, where the 

 mist from the Falls keeps the plants continually wet, the leayes and flowers appear at the same 

 time; but away from the Falls, where the moisture is considerably reduced, the flowers precede the 

 foliage. (Photographed by Dr. H. L. Shantz, Victoria Falls, Southern Rhodesia, Noyember 

 8, 1919; P36710FS.)
