standing its great resemblance in habit to Phycella ; for 

 reasons that wc shall be able to explain more clearly when 

 we publish another most beautiful scarlet-flowered plant, 

 named by Mr. Herbert Ilabranthus Phycelloides. 



Mr. Herbert requests us to add, on this occasion, that 

 *' the particles of pollen in the genus Habranthus are 

 smaller by more than one half than in the bulbs that form 

 the genus Hippiastrum ;" that is, the red-flowered Ama- 

 ryllises of tropical America.
