This, like all the genus, is a native of the Cape of Good 

 Hope, where the species occupy the situation of the Blue- 

 bells and Squills of Europe. It is described, and its syno- 

 nyms arranged, at the place above quoted. 



The Honourable and Reverend \Vm. Herbert, who sent 

 me the accompanying figure, remarks that there are three dis- 

 tinct states of this species ; one, the present, which has clear 

 blue flowers, without any yellow ; a second, figured at fol. 

 1350 ; and a third, with spotted leaves. A fourth, I presume, 

 is the variety figured at fol. 314 ; which, however, may be 

 a distinct species.
