Desc. Bulb ovate-globofe, whitifh ; Jeaves gloffy on their 
upper fide, 3—4 inches long, broadeft neafly an inch over ; 
fiem 4—5 inches high; coro//a about 4 lines Jong, whitifh, with . 
a cinnamon-red oblong ftreak on each furface of the upper part 
of all the fegments. Differs from pallida in having the feg- 
ments of the corolla nearly equal in length, from confominata 
(to which it comes the neareft) in the number and form of the 
leaves. The laft-mentioned fpecies was firft taken up in the 
Hortus Kewenfis, the original fpecimen of which is ftill 
preferved in the Bankfian Herbarium; whence we have 
afcertained it to be the fame with the Ayacinthoides of Jacquin 
and Wittpenow ; its defcription in the Hortus Kewenfis is 
incorre& in feveral points, and has mifled both the laft- 
mentioned authors, in fo far as they have not recognifed the 
identity
