THE SPECIES OF HIPPEASTRUM. 83 



15. if. hiftdum. — Uraguay and South Brazil, Tweedie ! Fox ! 

 Gibert, 174 ! 505 ! So far as I can make out there is one eastern 

 species of this group, to which belong Habranthus kermesinus, 

 nobilis, nemoralis, intennedius, spathaceiis, bijidus, pulcher, and 

 pedunculosiis, as defined in Kunth. A ^Dlant from the Andes of 

 Ecuador, gathered by Dr. Jameson and Colonel Hall, is not distin- 

 guishable by dried specimens. 



16. H. Bagnoldi. — Habranthus Bagnoldi, Herb. ; Kunth Enum. 

 v., p. 496, with its three varieties. H. imnctatus, Herb. ; Kunth 

 Enum. v., p. 495. Chili, Cuminy, 865! Reijnolds ! Melocoton, 

 Gillies ! North Patagonia, Captain Middleton ! 



17. H. montanum. — Hahranthus montanus, Philippi, Desc. Nuev. 

 Plant. (1873), p. 66. Chih, Philippi. 



18. H. Berteroanum. — Habranthus Berteroanus, Philippi, in 

 ' Linnaea,' xxix., p. 66. Chih, Bertero. 



19. H. Jamesoni, Baker. — Leaves and bulb not seen ; scape 

 slender, two to' fom'-flowered, about half a foot long ; spathe of two 

 membranous pale Imear valves, one and a half to two and a half 

 mches long ; pedicels half an inch to an inch and a quarter, the lower 

 flowers di-ooping, the upper ascenduig ; ovary oblong, a quarter to 

 one-thh'd of an inch long ; perianth an open funnel, two to' two 

 and a half inches long, apparently pale red ; tube one-sixth of an 

 inch long ; segments unequal, the foiu: upper ones oblong, one-half 

 to five-eighths of an inch broad at the middle, the two lower ones 

 lanceolate, one-quarter to one-third of an mch broad ; stamens 

 miequal, about half as long as the segments ; anthers linear-oblong, 

 one- sixth to a quarter of an inch long ; style a little longer than 

 the stamens, trifid at the tip. Argentine territory ; side of ravines, 

 near Jachal — flowering in February, Dr. Jameson I 



20. H. phijcelloides. — Hahranthus phycelloides, Herb. ; Kunth 

 Enum. v., p. 492, Chili, Macrae! Herb. Reed! Connects Habranthus 

 with Phycella, as it possesses the narrowly funnel-shaped perianth 

 with oblanceolate segments of the latter and the trifid stigma of 

 the former. 



21. H. bicolor. — Amaryllis bicolor, Ruiz & Pav., Fl. Peruv. iii., 

 p. 57. Under this I would unite Phycella ignea, cyrtanthoides, 

 magnifica, gracilijiora, attenuata, brerituba, and bicolor, as they stand 



m Kimth, with apparently P. angiistifolia, Philippi, Desc. Nuev. l^ 

 Plant, 1873, p. 67, as an alpine variety. The plant is common in 

 Chili, and is so showy that it has been gathered by most collectors 

 of numbered sets. I may cite Cuming 494, Lechler 3213, Bridges 

 32, and Matthews 321. The forms differ in the size of the flower, 

 the breadth of the leaf, and distinctness of the teeth between the 

 bases of the filaments. 



22. H. Herbertianum. — Phycella Herbertiana, Lindl. ; Kunth 

 Enum. v., p. 513. Chili, Macrae. 



23. H. uniflorum. — Rhodophiala unifiora, Philippi, Viag. Desert. 

 Atacam., No. 365. Atacama, Philippi. This I have not seen, but 

 suspect that it will prove a form of H. pratense. 



24. H. modestum. — Rhodophiala modesta, Philippi, Desc. Nuev. 

 Plant (1873), p. 66. Chih, Philippi ! A well-marked species.
