 " Nearly related to V. crithmoides and radlcans of Gillies and Hooker." 



Stems many, procumbent. Leaves deeply pinnatifid. Flowers of a sulphur 

 colour, larger than those of V. multifida, thickly arranged in a capitate spike. 

 V. sulphurea is figured from the collection of W. Christy, jun., Esq., Clapham ; 

 in whose collection it flowered in August, 1833. The plant is, apparently, 

 perennial, and forms a close spreading patch. It appears to prefer a loamy 

 soil, and grows luxuriantly in the open border during summer, but requires 

 the protection of a pit or frame in winter. Cuttings of it root very readily.

This is closely related to T. virginica and T. subaspera, " from both of 

 which it differs in the extremely hairy leaves and flower-stalk, and calyxes, 

 and in the smaller flowers ; and from T. virginica var. pildsa Lindl. by the 

 very hairy (not simply ciliated) and vastly broader and shorter foliage. From 

 Dr. Lehman's T. pilosa it only seems to depart in the absence of glands on 

 the pedicels and calyx." The flowers are " numerous, produced in ter- 

 minal umbels from the axils of two opposite bracteas. The petals, filaments, 

 and hairs of the filaments, are of a bright purplish blue ; anthers yellow."

 Synonyme. It appears to rank next to A. &dvena Bot. Reg. t. 1125. fig. 1., and A. intermedia 

 Bot. Beg. t. 1148. ; but is perfectly distinct from both, and, indeed, from any species with which 

 we are acquainted. {W. B. Booth.) 



A beautiful species, introduced by Lieut. Holland of the Royal Marines, 

 Miss Street of Penryn, to whom Lieut. Holland presented bulbs of it, pos- 

 sesses the plant from which the figure and description have been derived. 

 Herbage glaucous; scape about 1ft. high; flowers pediceled, 3 or 4 in the 

 umbel; perianthium suberect, about 2\ in. long, funnel-shaped, slightly bell- 

 shaped, of a deep carmine colour, marked with darker veins. The figure and 

 description are communicated by Mr. W. B. Booth. (Bot. Beg., Jan.)

On this synonymy, Mr. D. Don has offered this remark in the British Floiver-Garden for Dec. 

 i 1833, at foot of t. 220. : — " We are now satisfied of our A. aurantlaca being identical with A. 

 versicolor of Ruiz and Pavon ; which name must [as it is of earlier date], therefore, supe"sede* 

 that which we have applied."

 Synonymes. This genus was separated from Sisyrinchium by Dr. Brown, who gave to it the name 

 of Renealmz'a : a name applied by Linnaeus, but subsequently suppressed by Smith, to some or 

 all of the species of the modern genus Alpinia ; but as the genus Renealmz'a has been restored, 

 upon good grounds, by Roscoe, it becomes necessary to adopt, from Sprengel, the appellation 

 JAb&xtia for the genus of Brown, which is a most natural one. The Libertz'fl of Dumortier is 

 H6sto of Trattinick, and Funkz'a of Sprengel ; and Libe>t?'fl of Lejeune scarcely appears dif- 

 ferent from Brown's [? from i?romus]. (Dr. Hooker, Bot. Mag. 3294.)
