offsets. It flowers in May, and may be thus distinguished 

 from C. bifolia. 



C. campanulata, foliis lineari-lanceolatis humifusis, pe- 

 rianthii laciniis obtusis patentibus immaculatis : alternis mino- 

 ribus fimbriatis. 



XXXI. Zephyranthes rosea. Lindley. 

 A species very like Zephyranthes Atamasco, in foliage, 

 which is however broader, and lies closer to the ground. 

 The flowers are of a beautiful rose colour, more vertical, and 

 of a firmer texture than in Z. Atamasco. It was brought 

 from the Havannah, in 1823, by Mr. George Don, and has 

 been figured in the Botanical Register, tab. 821. When 

 first brought to this country it manifested no signs of flower- 

 ing, but in the second season of its cultivation it produced 

 its blossoms in great abundance. >*A green-house plant, flow- 

 ering in May, propagated freely by divisions of the roots. 



XXXII. Crinum revolutum. 

 A bulb of a species of Crinum was brought from Maranham, 

 to the Society, by Mr. George Don, in 1823. It appears 

 to be as distinct from the other species of Crinum already 

 described by authors, as they are from each other. The 

 leaves are a foot and an half long, linear-lanceolate, flat, with 

 two nerves towards the end, blunt, recurved, with a few 

 scattered glands at the edge, rather longer than the scape, 

 and bright green. The flowers appear in fours, they are 

 white with a tinge of pink, and have an unpleasant smell. 

 Their stalk is short, the tube is green, round, six inches 

 long, becoming white, and narrower towards the upper
