^ Perianth declined ; tube not abbreviated. 
33. Phycella. Lindley. — # Perianth convolute into the 
form of a tube; anthers incumbent; faucial

B. Upper sepaline and lower petaline filaments 
abbreviated ; 1-flowered. — Or a distinct genus, 
Zephyrites ? Herbert. — To be further investigated. 
X Perianth suberect. 
35. Zephyranthes. Herbert. — Filaments of alternate

It seems to be a species of Phycella, of which the description is unintelligible, 
and the accompanying figure repugnant to all probability.
