ments, instead of remaining closed in a globose manner, as in 

 most others, expanding till they diverge from the flower stalk at 

 nearly a right angle. 



Y. filamentosa has stood our winters unprotected; and the past 

 season we left out a seedling plant which we suppose to be gloriosa 

 or draconis, which has been uninjured: probably if they were 

 planted on dry or rocky places there would be scarcely any dan- 

 ger of their being destroyed. No plants have a more striking 

 appearance than theSe; and as they are easily raised from seed, 

 or procured at the nurseries, at a reasonable price, we hope to 

 see them generally cultivated. They are elegant ornaments of 

 the green-house. [Bat. Reg., Sept.) 



Ji^ccida Ilaip. Weak-/f07;cd Adam's Needle. A hardy (?) perennial plant ; growing two 

 or three feet high ; with white flowers ; appearing in July. Bot. Reg., 1895. 



Distinct from the above, it being of a stemless habit. Its 

 native country is unknown, but it probably belongs to North 

 America. This and all the species grow in a sandy soil, gener- 

 ally upon the sea-shore. (Bot. Reg., Sept.) 



NECTAROSCO'RDIUM Lindl. (From nectar, honey, and skordom, garlic, in allusion to the 

 honey pores in the flowers, 

 siculum Guss. Sicilian Uimcij-^AxWc. A hardy bulbous plant; growing two feet high; 

 with purple flowers; appearinsr in May and June; propagated by seeds and offsets; a 

 native of Sicily. Bot. Reg., 1913. 



A handsome bulbous plant, with an umbellate head of nume- 

 rous large pendulous flowers, purple on the inner side and green- 

 ish-red on the outer. It has been heretofore referred to the genus 

 .^'llium, but now constitutes a new genus. Perfectly hardy in 

 England, and, being a native of the mountainous parts of Sicily, 

 may prove so in our climate; at least, it can be preserved in a 

 cellar or frame. [Bot. Reg., Dec.) 



TRITELE'IA 



uniflora Livill. One-fowered Triteleia. A frame bulbous plant ; growing six inches high ; 

 with blue flowers ; appearing in June. A native of Mendoza. Bot. Reg., 1021. 



A bulbous plant, with slender one-flowered scapes of pale blue 

 blossoms of a starry form, smelling powerfully of garlic, not pos- 

 sessing much beauty. It was found by Dr. Gillies in Mendoza.
