fpecies exaftly anfwer to Scabiofa graminlfoHa. It differs 

 from the foregoing in having narrower, more numerous,

 coloured, naked points of their inner calyx. 



BRUNSVIGIA, fo named in 1753, by Heifter, in 

 compliment to his patron Charles duke of Brunfwick Lu- 

 nenburg. What were his ferene highnefs's claims to this 

 honour, we know not, nor is Heister any authority in 

 fuch a cafe (fee his biographical article) ; but we hope all 

 Englifhmen will ever have reafon to hail the name of 

 Brunfwick, wherever it appears, and the genus in queftion, 

 long confounded with Amaryllis, being now reftored, the 

 name of Brunfvigia appears with peculiar propriety in the 

 royal garden of England. — Heift. Brunfv. 2. Ait. Hort.

 tongue-fhaped, depreffed, fmooth. Flowers fomewhat irre- 

 gular, with afcending ftamens and ftyle. — Native of the 

 Cape of Good Hope. The bulb is not uncommon in our 

 ftoves, but we never heard of its flowering. That defirable 

 event however hapf>ened in the imperial garden at Schoen- 

 brun, and has enabled the late profeffor .Tacquin to adorn 

 his Hort. Schoenbr. with one of the moft fplendid botanical 

 figures extant. This is perhaps the moft ftately of its ftately 

 tribe. The large fealy bulb bears five or fix obovate-oblong, 

 dark green leaves, lying over each other in two ranks, and 

 ufually a foot long, near three inches broad. Flotuer-Jlalk 

 earlier than the leaves, ereft, round, a foot high, crowned with 

 a hrozd Jheath, of two coloured valves, unequal in breadth, 

 accompanying a very large umbel, of about thirty-five rays, 

 fpreading in all direftions, each fix inches long, bearing a 

 folitary ereft Jlower. All the ftalks are more or lefs of a 

 blood red. Corolla richly varied with crimfon and a kind of 

 orange fcarlet ; its fegments an inch and a half long, acute, 

 converging into a tubular form at the bafe, fpreading in the 

 upper part, and reflexed. Capfule two to four inches long, 

 and one broad, pale brown, mining ; tapering very much 

 at the bafe.

 (Amaryllis marginata; Jacq. Hort. Schoenbr. v. 1. 34.

 depreffed, fmooth, with cartilaginous edges. Flowers regu- 

 lar, with ereft ftamens and ftyle. — Native of the Cape, from 

 whence Mr. Maffon fent bulbs in 1795. Leaves rather nar- 

 rower than the former, with a hard red border. Umbel 

 ereft, denfe, of many {cax\<iX. Jlonvtrs, with upright j^am^nj

 (Amaryllis Radula; Jacq. Hort. Schoenbr. v. i. 35. t. 68. 

 Willd. Sp. PI. v. 2. 61.) — Leaves elliptical, depreffed, 

 rough with briftly tubercles. Flowers ringent, with de- 

 chning ftamens and ftyle. — From the fame country, intro- 

 duced by Mr. Maffon, in 1 790. Leaves two, fcarcely more, 

 three inches long, rough-edged, covered on the upper fide 

 with briftle-pointed warts. Stalks three or four i^iches high, 

 fometimes in pairs. Umbels of only four or five pink and 

 while Jlciuers, five of whofe fegments are direfted upwards, 

 the fifth deflexed, along with the JIamens sndjlyle.

 ryllis ftriata ; Jacq. Hort. Schoenbr, v. i. 36. t. 70. Willd. 

 Sp. PI. V. 2. 61.) — Leaves eUiptic-obovate, ereft ; denfely 

 ftriated benlrath. Flowers nearly regular, with declining 

 ftamens and ftyle. — From the fame country as all the reft, 

 introduced by Mr. Maffon in 1795. Larger than the laft, 

 and diftinguiftied by its upright red-edged leaves. Umbel of 

 many Jlo'wers, whofe outfide is rofe-coloured, inner paler, 

 or whitifli, the fegments narrow, nearly or quite regular.
