spontaneus. Communicavit viventem, cum flore, ami- 

 cus Rev. Gul. T. Bree, ineunte Aprili 1830. 



Obs. Prope A. obvallarem Salisb. cui maxime af- 

 finis, certe locarem. DifFert satis, flore omni parte 

 longiore. Novam speciem constituit: et forte affinior 

 A. spurio Nob. in Narciss. JRevis. 115. et Synops. Succ. 

 App. 327, cum coronae lobis longissime integrioribus. 



Obs. Folia florendi tempore pedalia erecta firma ob- 

 tusa 5 lineas lata, inferne inflexo-canaliculata, extusque 

 obtuse carinata; superne planata; undique striatula, 

 paululum glaucescentia,seu magis viridia quam in affini- 

 bus proximis. Scapus folia 2-3 uncias superans ordinarius 

 seu paululum compressus, acute anceps, et cum foliis 

 concolor. Spatha tubum subaequans. Tubus fere cam- 

 panularis (externe) perluteus, basi virescens. Corollce 

 laciniae basi imbricantes : exteriores ovato-subacumi- 

 natae patulo-subincurvantes : interiores lato-lanceolatae 

 subtortuosim oblique flexulas. Corona lasvis ore pa- 

 tulo, lobis sex conspicuis rotundatis rectimque tripli- 

 catulatis, fere integerrimis; intus ad lentem aliquantil- 

 lum rugosiusculis. Caetera non examinavi. 



It may in this place be observed that the two double 

 varieties given to Ajax telamoneus in p. 115 of Narciss. 

 Revis. seem rather to belong to Narc. major of Bot. 

 Mag. 51.

Obs. The Herbarium of Linnaeus proves to me that 

 the last, not the present, species, is the plant he named 

 N. moschatus s I have therefore restored it, and pre- 

 served that of tortuosus, which I originally gave to the 

 present plant, and which aptly alludes to its very tor- 

 tuous petals.
