A new bulbous plant, closely allied to Pancratium, with 

 flowers of a dazzling whiteness and a delicious odour. It is a 

 native of Florida, where it was found in March, 1836, by Mr. 

 Henry Knight, growing in a swamp watered by the Alabama 

 river, and within a mile of the city of Mobile. As it flowers in 

 March, its period of rest will probably be the summer and au- 

 tumnal months. [Ft. Cab., June.) 



+ Elisena longipetala Lindl. A fine bulbous plant, received 

 from Lima by Richard Harrison, Esq., of Aighburgh. The 

 flowers are of a delicate semitransparent white. {B. M. R., June, 

 No. 79.) 



+ Phycella hiflora Lindl. One of the most beautiful species 

 of a charming genus. The flowers are fully two inches long, 

 with an expansion of as much ; their tube is a clear, bright, 

 greenish yellow, while their upper end is of the most vivid 

 scarlet, just tinged with purple. The processes of the tube of 

 the flower, by which the genus is known, are nearly half an 

 inch long, lanceolate, and split into two or three sharp-pointed 

 lobes. It is a frame bulb, and well worth cultivation, bearing 

 the air of a sitting-room, while in flower, without inconvenience.
