An elegant stove or green-house herbaceous perennial, with 

 large flowers, somewhat resembling those of /Vis 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 heatj 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 Z/iliaceae 

 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.)
