the base. Ovary few-ovuled; style exserted, erect; stigma 
3-lobed. Berry few-seeded. Seeds subglobose-compressed, 
with a fleshy coat.— Kunth, l.c. 584; Bot. Mag. (Imantophyl- 
lum Aitoni) ¢. 2856. 
A very imperfectly bulbous plant, the base throwing out many tufted, 
thick and fleshy fibres. Leaves numerous, radical, distichous, strap-shaped, 
rigid, persistent. Scape plano-convex, solid, umbellately many-flowered ; 
spathe of several bracts. Flowers pedicelled, nodding, orange-scarlet, green- 
tipped.—C. nobilis, the only species, grows in the Eastern districts. 
6. IMANTOPHYLLUM, Hook. 
Perianth 6-parted nearly to the very base, widely campanu- 
late, the segments broadly obovate-lanceolate, subequal, the 3 
inner rather larger. Stamens inserted near the base of the 
segments and somewhat shorter, spreading ; anthers versatile. 
Ovary few-ovuled; style thick, curved down, then turning 
upwards, longer than the perianth. Berry fleshy, few-seeded. 
Seeds subglobose, bulbiform.— Bot. Mag. t. 4783. 
I. miniatum, Hook., has the habit of Clivia, but its leaves are much larger 
and broader, less rigid, with ample clasping bases and acute apices, and the 
flowers are erect or cernuous, opening widely, nearly as in Vallota, orange- 
scarlet, without green tips.—Native of Natal. 
7. HH MANTHOS, Linn. 
Perianth with a straight tube, and deeply 6-parted limb, de- 
ciduous, the lobes narrow, 1-3-nerved, equal, erect or spread- 
ing. Stamens on the summit of the tube, erect, exserted, 3 
longer ; anthers fixed above the base. Ovary few-ovuled; 
style filiform, straight; stigma simple. Berry globose or ob- 
long, 1-2-celled. Seeds solitary, bulb-lke.—Kunth, l. c. 586; 
Bot. Mag. t. 1315, 3373, 1239, 1528, 1075, 1705, 5878, 5532. 
Bulbous plants, glabrous or hairy. Leaves few, mostly 2, mostly broad 
and short, coriaceous, thickish, erect or prostrate, rarely long, narrow and 
channelled. Scape short, mostly compressed or flat, often mottled or 
banded; umbel densely many-flowered. Spathe mostly many-leaved, 
rarely 2-leaved.—Many species, dispersed. 
8. AMARYLLIS, Linn. 
Perianth with a very short tube, funnel-shaped, 6-parted, 
subregular or irregular ; segments many-nerved, broad, undu- 
late, spreading, somewhat revolute at the apices. Stamens at 
the summit of the tube, unequal, declined ; anthers fixed by the 
middle, incumbent, curved into a cir cular arch after bursting. 
Style declined ; stigma thickened, sub-3-lobed. Capsule ob- 
ovate. Seeds elobose, fleshy. —Kunth, l.c. 600; Bot. Mag. t. 
733, 1450, 2253.
