of Amaryllis ignea (now Phycella ignea), that it was believed 

 to be that species. It was remarkable for having six barren 

 stamens alternating with the fertile ones, under the form of 

 subulate processes, about half the length of the fertile fila- 

 ments. It having subsequently been stated by Mr. Herbert 

 in the Botanical Magazine, folio 2687, who possesses and has 

 examined the original plant of Amaryllis ignea, that these 

 processes are very obsolete in that species, it is evident that 

 the bulb sent home by Mr. M'Rae is essentially distinct. 

 I have therefore named it P. corusca. The plant which 

 flowered also produced its seeds, which were thin and flat 

 like those of Amaryllis Reginae, and similar species. 



This is an extremely handsome plant, throwing up from 

 the centre of the narrow leaves a stout scape about a foot in 

 height, which is crowned by a candelabrum-like umbel of long 

 tubular flowers of the most vivid crimson. Should be culti- 

 vated in light sandy loam.
