 Araaryl. t, 41. iig. 28. Segments of the limb rather broader and not 

 quite so acute. 



A native of Italy, Sicily, and Algiers. Differs from the next by its 

 more robust habit, several flowers, and leaves contemporaneous with 

 them. 



XX. N. SEROTINUS (L. Sp. Plant, p. 417). — Bulb subglobose, 6-9 

 lines thick. Leaves solitary or two together, filiform, subterete, usually 

 not appearing till after the scape dies down. Scape usually 1-, rarely 

 2-flowered, very slender, under a foot high. Pedicel 6-9 lines long, 

 shorter than the spathe. Tube, segments, crown, and stamens, like 

 those of the preceding. — Hermione serotina, Haw. Mon. p. 13 ; Herb.

Extends from Spain through the south of Europe to the Barbary 

 States, Greece, and Palestine. Flowers in September and October. 



XXI. N. Broussonetii (Lagasca, Nov. Gen. p. 13). — Bulb ovoid, 

 as large as a hen's egg. Leaves about 4 to a scape, 4-6 lines broad, 

 about as long as the scape. Scape about a foot high, 4-8-flowered. 

 Pedicels 6-10 lines long, shorter than the spathe. Tube 8-9 lines 

 long, exclusive of the ovary, under a line thick, greenish at the base, 

 white upwards. Divisions of the limb subcampanulately erecto-patent, 

 pure white, oblong-lanceolate, about ■§■ in. long by \ in. broad, narrowed 

 suddenly to a bluntish point. Crown almost entirely confluent with 

 the apex of the tube. Stamens biseriate, the lower filaments 1^2 

 lines long, their anthers just reaching the top of the tube, the upper 

 filaments 2^3 lines long, reaching halfway up the divisions. — Her-
