albo-marginulata et minutissime asperiuscula. Scapus 

 teres solidus plus qiiam 2-pedalis laevis aphyllus viridis. 

 Spatlia mukiflora niembranacea persistans et recurva 

 lobiilata. Flores capitatim umbellati numerosissimi con- 

 terti aibi, sed mox dilute erubescentes. Pedicelli 1 — 1^- 

 unciales teretes virides. Perigonium 6-petaloideum. 

 Petala oblongo-lanceolata dorsali linea viridi, horizon- 

 laliter e'xpansa obtusa vel parum incurvula. Stamina 

 patula, filamenta subulata superne plus minus erube- 

 scentia, antheris ordinariis. Ovarium laete perviride 

 obtuse 3 — 4 — 5-gonum, totidem loculis. Styli itidem 

 3 — 5 erecti subulati, sublineam longi albi, stigmatibus 

 fere nullis. 



Proximuni est A. multibulbosum Jacq., sed difFert in 

 bulbo, foliis, floribusque; et potissimum in stylorum 

 numero, loculisque ovarii viridissimi. 



In the course of composing my MS. Hortus {sub 

 dio) bulbosns, I have found that Zephyranthes grandi- 

 Jlora of Bot. Mag. tab. 902. is the same plant as Ha- 

 bninthus fobustus of Herbert, figured in Sweet's Brit. 

 Fl. Gard. ser. 2. tab. 14. This may be useful for all 

 botanists, bulb-growing collectors, and gardeners to 

 know, as will also be the following remarks. 



plumbea. Scilla. Bot. Reg. tab. 1355, is the same as Scilla 

 hyacintJwides Lijin. and But. Mag. tab. 1140. 



esculenta. Scilla. Missouri Squill or Qjiamash, Bot. Mag. tab. 

 1574, must be very different, and not even of the same 

 genus, as the Camassia esculenta {Eatable Qiiamash) of 

 Bot. Reg. tab. 1486; and I think I have seen a smaller 

 kind (perhaps only a weaker specimen,) of the former, 

 which is a true species of Scilla. 



Under the same useful views I may remark, that 

 Scilla unifolia Linn. — Loixd. Hort. Brit, and Scilla 

 ■pumila Brot. {monophylla Link) and Sc. p?imila Bot. 

 Mag. t. 3023. are the same plant.' 



I have long had in my garden two species of Scilla, 

 that I am not aware of having been distinguished in 

 print from each other ; viz. 



peruviana. Scilla. Linn. Sp. PI. 442. et ejus Herb. : foliis 

 lorato-lanceolatis, thyrso multifloro conferto, bracteis, 

 ppdiinculo imo longo brevioribus. 



Scilla stellaris bceticus major sive peruanus. Park. 

 Parad. lab. 125./ 7. 



/3. minor, floribus albis.
