This plant, communicated by George Hibbert, Esq. I believe has never before been figured, 
but I have little doubt the synonym above quoted belongs to it, and that it isa legitimate species. 
The petals in fading are tinged with a blush colour. It has been some years in this country, 
flowering soon after it rises out of the ground ; and, like the rest of the genus, should be culti- 
vated ina moist shady situation.
