REFERENCE TO THE PLATE. 
1. A flower Ihewn from the outfide. 
2. The fame Ihewn from the inlide. 
3. The Pointal and feed-bud. 
This very fine fpecies of Lachenalia, with its variety, have been figured by Prof. Jacquin in bis leones, 
and Collectenea; but whether from dried fpecimens or not we cannot determine. As yet there is no 
figure, of either, in any Britifli publication. Mr.Williams, of Tumhara Green, nurferyman, was the 
firft who had it to flower in this kingdom, and to his kindnefs in fending us a fine fpecimen, this year, 
in April, we are indebted for our prefent figure. It is equally hardy with the reft of the fpecies oi 
the Genus, and propagates abundantly by the root; delights moft in a fandy peat foU.
