AMARYLLIS. 51 



and veined with carmine scarlet, each segment has a broad 

 margin of the same colour, pale green centre. 



A. Mr. Rawson. — This is named in compliment to a great 

 patron of this most beautiful class of plants. The colour, 

 which is totally distinct to anything we have seen, is best 

 described as a vermilion lake, with a distinct stripe on each 

 segment continued to the base ; centre pure white, continuing 

 to point of segment, which is bright rosy red. 



A. Mrs. Rawson. — This is one of the finest of the wanjinata 

 section, flower about eight inches in diameter and well ex- 

 panded, deep reddish-crimson, each segment having a broad 

 margin of white extending to the base. 



A. pardina. — A magnificent species, of which, it seems, 

 there are several varieties. All that we have seen are, "how- 

 ever, distinct in form from that of any other Amaryllis. 

 The blossoms are upwards of six inches in diameter, very 

 spreading, with scarcely any tube ; the ground colour of the 

 flower is a rich cream, profusely dotted all over with crimson 

 red. It is a native of Peru, and is a splendid acquisition to 

 this beautiful genus. 



A. Prince Arthur. — Beautifully -formed flowers of deep 

 crimson, with a dark stripe traversing the centre of the petals. 



A. Prince Tech. — Fine new varieties of this noble flower 

 are continually making their appearance, testifying to the 

 skill of the hybridiser. The present plant is certainly a good 

 addition to this highly decorative family. The flowers are 

 large, the ground colour being a soft creamy yellow, which 

 runs down the centre of each petal ; the edges of the petals 

 are deep carmine crimson, and beautifully marked with netted 

 lines of the same colour. 



A. Princess Dar/mar. — -Petals of great breadth, margined 

 and veined with carmine scarlet, and having a light base ; 

 one of the finest forms and most brilliant in colour.
