Mr. J. G. Baker in "his “ Handbook of the Amaryllideae ” p. 33, 
says that the specimens of this plant agree in all characters, except 
the size, with a drawing of Mr. W. Herbert’s inscribed Z. filifolia, 
and on the sheet to which the specimens are glued is a short note in 
Mr. Baker’s handwriting to the same effect. Although the name 
until now was a nomen nudum I have accepted it and publish here 
a diagnosis.

This species resembles si first sight the drawing of C. andinamasc- 
ana, Herb., in his work on the Amaryllidaceae, plate 8, but the 
flowers are a good deal smaller and there are real bracts at the base 
of the flower stalks, a character never before observed in Collania. 
The leaves also are nearly blunt and not acuminate as in C. 
andinamascana.
