I believe it to be impossible to discriminate between Hamilton's 

 H. coccineum and Roxburgh's H. angustifolium, except in their 

 fresh state ; and after all, they may possibly be one and the same 

 species. The former is a taller glaucous plant, with leaves 

 generally tapering from their pointed base into an acuminate apex ; 

 they are less rigidly bifarious and the spike less sexfarious than in 

 the latter. — H. elatum, carneum, and stenopetalum, are only 

 varieties of H. coccineum, and I have accordingly united them 

 under /3. Roscoe's and Loddiges' H. carneum seems rather to 

 come under the normal foi-m.
