Our drawing of this rare bulb was made from a plant 

 supplied by J. H. Slater, Esq. of Newick Park, to whom 

 we have had to express our acknowledgments upon more 

 than one previous occasion. It is a native of the Cape of 

 Good Hope, and requires the treatment of similar plants 

 from that country. 



With regard to the genus of this species, we confess 

 our opinion" to be by no means decided. Mr. Herbert 

 includes it in his Ammocharis ; but the difference between 

 that genus and Nerine of the same gentleman is not 

 clear to us : in the meanwhile, the fruit of A. coranica 

 being unknown, we judge it best to leave the species 

 among the mass of other Amaryllideous plants called 

 Amaryllis.
