Tus Lachenalia may be regarded as a perfectly new species, there not being a figure of it extant, nor 
is it enumerated in the Species Plantarum of Willdenow. We were at first inclined to have called it 
have received a specific title in reference to their colour, the appellation of flava in the present instance 
will doubtless be generally as well accepted. The figure was made, from the only plant that has as 
yet flowered in this country, at the nursery of Mr. Williams of Turnham Green, who informs me that 
he has had the plant three or four years, but has found it difficult to flower, and slow of increase.
