having a tliickish cylindrical neck 3 to 4 inches long, both bulb and neck covered with a dark brown 
skin ; the leaves are channelled, IJ feet long, about an inch wide at the base, gradually narrowing 
upwards, scabrous at the edge ; the scapes, teii of which are borne on a bulb of this size, are 15 inches 
terminating in an uinbcd of about a dozen flowers, which issue from between a pair of ovate 
bracts, and are erect while in bud. The perianth has a slender tube, 4 inches long, pale green, and a 
limb of six linear-lanceolate spreading segments, 2J inches long, and of a blush white colour, so that 
the flowers arc nearly 6 inches across. Opposite to each segment, and about one-third of its length, 
also spreading in the same direction, is a stamen, the filament of which is white at the base, rosy 
purple upwards, bearing a versatile anther half an inch long, with golden brown iiollcn. The style is
