irregularly spotted towards the extremity of the blotch, which 
covers about two-thirds of the petal. It will afford a striking 
contrast to some of the more deeply coloured varieties both of 
this genus and Amaryllis. 
Like its ally, Ilippeastrum pardinum, the plant will require a 
warm house, and will grow readily in a mixture of peat, sandy 
loam, and leaf mould with sand ; but we fear it will be some 
time before the public in general will have an opportunity of 
growing it, for it must necessarily for a long time be a scarce 
plant.
