HYBRIDS AMONG THE AMARYLLIZ AND CACTACE®, 411 
3. Ismene calathina x Elisena longipetala = Ismene festalis. Fairly 
equipoised, but of a stature and size of flower far exceeding either parent. 
Herbert mentioned the alleged existence in the Andine regions of giant 
Ismenes attaining about the same stature as this hybrid. Sterile. 
4, Hippeastrum vittatum x H.equestre = H. mandevilli. Inclining 
somewhat towards the female, especially in colour and markings. Fertile. 
5. Hippeastrum vittatum x H. rutilum = H. rutilo-vittatwm. Inclin- 
ing towards the female, some individuals being indistinguishable there- 
from. Fertile. 
64. Hippeastrum aulicum x H. vittatum = H. Ruriki. Strictly 
equipoised. The flowers are smaller than either parent, but very brilliant 
in colour. Sterile, as are all hybrids raised on H. aulicum. 
6s. The same hybrid, but raised on a tawny-red form of H. aulicum. 
This produced two types of flowers, one of a pale amethystine-pink, 
utterly dissimilar from those of 6a, and unlike either parent. [A collateral 
relative of the female has mauve-coloured flowers (procerwm).| The 
other type of individual resulting from this cross was indistinguishable 
from the type produced by 64. No intermediate forms have yet appeared. 
Probably sterile. 
7. Hippeastrum aulicum x H. equestre = H. aulictre. Nearly equi- 
poised, but inferior in beauty to either parent. 
8. Hymenocallis filamentosa* x H. Moritziana= H. Erustu. A 
robust hybrid, fairly equipoised, but notably like the male in the foliage. 
Carries seeds, but all have failed to germinate. 
Other recent hybrid Amarylliz that I have seen are: 
1. Nerine flecuosa x N. undulata = N. erubescens (ex Kew), probably 
sterile. 
2. Nerine roseo-crispa (ex hort. Elwes). Nearer the male. Sterile (?). 
3. Nerine pudica x N. corusca = N. Zoroasteri (ex hort. Elwes). 
Fairly equipoised, but like the female in the foliage; a beautiful plant. 
Fertile. {I have raised this hybrid since. | 
4. Nerine flexuosa x N. pudica (ex hort. Elwes). Fairly equipoised, 
beautiful. Sterile. 
5. Hemanthus Katherine x H.magnificus = H. Andromeda. Raised 
by Mr. Hoog of Haarlem. This robust and fairly hardy hybrid is nearer 
the female in the flowers. Fertile. 
6. Callipsyche mirabilis x C. aurantiaca = C. kewensis. Strictly 
equipoised. The same hybrid has been raised by Sir Charles Strickland, 
Bart. 
The following hybrids and plants are on record, but I have had no 
opportunity of investigating their parentage : 
1. Crinum Kirki x C. longifolium = C. Kircape. On record. 
2. Crinum Todare is said to be a hybrid raised in Italian gardens, 
and presumably named after Prof. Todaro. I have this alive, but have 
never seen the flowers. 
3. Cyrtanthus lutescens x C. Tuckii, raised by Mr. O’Brien, is said to 
be not unlike C. O’ Brieni. 
4. Hemanthus Katherine x H. puniceus. On record. Fertile. 
* Not far from H. amena.
