MISCELLANEOUS BULBOUS AND TUBEROUS-ROOTED PLANTS— Continued. 
EUCHARIS CANDIDA. | 
No plant among my recent introductions has been so puzzling as this. It has been received trd 
one of my collectors in the Uiuted States of Columbia as a new species. On its flowering, howev^ 
it in-oves to be identical with the plant figured and described by Planchon as Etuharis Candida. B 
the plant at present in cultivation as E. Candida is not the same which Fl.anehou figured. That no 
offered quite agrees with this figure ; for, as well shown in Planchon ’s plate, it ha-s ovate-oblong Ion 
neehed bulbs instead of small globular neckless bulbs, as in the iilant now in gardens. The foliage 
the two plants is also altogether dissimilar, the true. E, Candida having a leaf with a long fiat petiol 
and a broadly elliptic-acuminate curved blade, deeurrent at the base. The scape is compresse 
bearing an umbel of several nodding flowers, which have a slender dccurvcd tube about two inch 
long ; the yellowi.sh tinted corona funnel-shaped and projecting about an inch, the lobes sudden’. 
contracting into awl-shaped filaments. :
