 elevation of 4000 feet above the sea level. It is a stemless, terrestrial

 stately species, native of Central America. Ttiere are many varieties, but that 

 which appears to be the typic:-il form has a one-flowered scape, the sepals and petals 

 of great length, and a yellowish olive colour, the lip three lobed and short, the 

 colour maroon, bordered with an 07'ange rim. 



BowiEA volubilis, T'lmning Dotoiea {Bot. May. t. 5619). — LiliaceaE?. A very 

 curious plant, quite destitute of beauty. " It consists of little more than a globose 

 green bulb, from the apex of which ascends yearly a very slender, twining green 

 flower-stem, six to eight feet high, that tlirows off an abundance of flowerless and 

 leafless branches below, and above bears numerous small green flowers." It is 

 allied to Drimia and Scilla, and is a native of the Cape of Good Hope.
