Mr Ker observes, when giving an account of Chrysiphiala 
Jiava, that all the known species of this genus are natives of 
Peru, and that Pancratium flavum, coriaceum, latifolium and 
recurvatum, belong to it. The genera Stenomesson, Carpo- 
detes and Leperiza of the Honourable Mr Herbert, he fur- 
ther considers as merely individuals of the present genus *.

* A drawing of the leaf has been sent to me by Mr Lindley, but not till after 
many impressions of the plates were printed. Mr Lindley thus describes the leaf: 
" Nearly erect, lanceolate, petiolate, quite glabrous, fleshy, slightly plaited, dark green 
above, beneath somewhat glaucous, with the midrib incomplete, depressed above in the 
middle, on the under-side very prominent."
