An elegant stove or green-house herbaceous perennial, with 

 large flowers, somewhat resembling those of 7^ris squalens, and 

 remarkable for the elegant deflexion of its flower-scape. It was 



brought from the East, in the year 1833, by Boultbee, 



Esq. Sir W. J. Hooker doubts if this species be distinct from 

 /. subbiflora, a hardy species, a native of Portugal : but Messrs. 

 Knowles and Westcott consider it a distinct species; because, 

 among other reasons, " its constitution is so very tender, that it 

 requires a stove heat, or that of a warm green-house." [Fl. Cab., 

 April.)

An herbaceous perennial, with flower-stalks from .9 in. to 1 ft. 

 in length, and delicate pink flowers, merging to white towards 

 the centre. As in other species of the genus, and of the Zviliaceae 

 generally, the flowers soon fade. The plant is quite hardy, of 

 easy culture, and not high-priced. It was introduced from the 

 Continent by Messrs. Young of the Epsom Nursery, where it 

 flowered for the first time in September, 1837. [Paxt. Mag. of 

 Bot., March.)
