292 A Report on New and Rare Plants, $c. 



Botanic Garden at Berlin, as well as by Mr. Fischer, Di- 

 rector of the Botanic Garden at Gottingen. A figure from 

 plants growing in the Garden of the Society has been pub- 

 lished in the Botanical Register, tab. 871. The plant should 

 be raised from seeds, and treated as an hardy annual. 



BULBOUS PLANTS. 

 XLI. Amaryllis longifolia, /. alio. 

 A pretty variety of Amaryllis longifolia, received from Mr. 

 C. Van Eeden, of Haarlem. It is not to be distinguished, 

 specifically, from the species to which it is here referred, 

 although it appears more robust, and produces both its flowers 

 and seeds in great abundance. The flowers are quite white, 

 and similar in shape to those of Crinum aquaticum, figured in 

 the Botanical Magazine, tab. 2352. It appears to be hardy 

 enough to live through the winter, in a warm sheltered border, 

 without protection. 



XLII. Tritonia lineata. Ker. 



Gladiolus lineatus. Salisbury. 

 This plant blossomed freely in the open air, under a south 

 wall. It has survived two winters, and is now (June, 1825) 

 in perfect beauty. It is a middle sized border flower, with 

 leaves like those of a Gladiolus, and pale yellow flowers, ele- 

 gantly streaked with brown lines. A native of the Cape of 

 Good Hope, whence roots were sent to the Society by M. 

 Villet. A figure of the plant may be found in the Botanical 

 Magazine, tab. 487, under the name of Gladiolus lineatus.
