88 NEW, RARE AND DESIRABLE STOVE PLANTS 
EUCHARIS CANDIDA. 
This plant was received from one of my collectors in the United States of Colombia as a new 
species. On its flowering, however, it proves to he identical with the plant figured and described by 
Planchon as Euchai-is Candida. As well shown in Planchon’s plate, it has ovate-oblong long-necked 
bulbs, and green leaves with a long flat petiole, and a broadly elliptic-acuminate curved blade. The 
scape bears an umbel of several nodding flowers, which have a slender decurved tube ^ibout two inches 
long ; the yellowish-tinted corona funnel-shaped and projecting about an inch, the lobes suddenly 
contracting into short awl-shaped filaments. This Eucharis will be an universal favourite, the 
blossoms are so extremely chaste and beautiful, of waxy whiteness, and with the segments so elegantly 
recurved. 10s. 6d.
