Punco ANDonGo.—A fleshy succulent bulb, white inside and out. 
Leaf solitary, sheathing, deeply channelled at the base, glaucous like 
the scape, from middle to apex cylindrical subulate. Scape cylindrical, 
about half as long as the leaf. Flowers yellow, somewhat nodding. 
Inner perianth-segments erect, a little shorter than the outer, thickened

ZENZA DO GOLUNGO.—A herb with an ovate-conical bulb, root- 
fibres numerous long, scales dark-coloured, marcescent. Scape 14 to 
* This is at any rate not usual; the outer stamens have smaller anthers, 
as Baker states, but that these are polliniferous is shown by examination 
of the specimen.
