AMARYLLIDACEiE. 
139 
sepals obtuse, wider than the petals, upper one reflex ; 
lowest petal narrow ; style and filaments equal to the 
perianth ; stigma triangularly three-lobed. Peru. 
It seems to form a link between Equestre and 
Regium. A. Chilensis (Ruiz) is not distinguishable 
from this. 
13. Regium. — Amaryllis reginae. Bot. Mag. 13. 453. 
Flowers scarlet with a green star, cernuous, much 
more funnel-shaped than those of equestre ; seg- 
ments more equal ; upper sepal not so reflex ; 
tube much thicker and shorter ; scape shorter. 
Named from having flowered first in England on 
the queen’s birthday, in 1728. Said to be from 
Mexico ; seemingly native of a hotter climate ; per- 
haps from the neighbourhood of Vera Cruz. A 
bulb of Skinner’s from Guatimala looks like it. 
14. Glaucescens. — Martius apud Schultes. (Without a 
figure.) Differs from Bulbuliferum, var. fulgidum, in 
having glaucous leaves, and the upper sepal non- 
revolute ; from var. acuminatum in having the seg- 
ments less acuminatum, and scarcely undulated ; from 
Bulbuliferum generally, in having the mouth of the 
tube scaly or bearded ; and as it is a native of the banks 
of Rio des Contes in the hot province of Bahia, I 
doubt its being one of the bulbuliferous family. 
It is known only by Dr. Martius’s description. It 
is probably a variety of the Maranliam stylosum. 
It lias the tube short and thick. 
15. Bulbulosum. — This species inhabits the middle 
latitudes of Brazil, where it branches into a vast 
number of local varieties, some of which have been 
described as separate species ; but they all agree in 
producing blind offsets round the bulb (some of 
which have been known to lie dormant for years 
refusing to vegetate), in having orange-coloured 
flowers of various tints, with the upper sepal 
more or less recurved, and a cernuous tube of which 
the mouth is either smooth, or only shewing a very 
slight disposition to become bearded, and the leaves 
arcuate. 
Var. 1. Subbarbatum. — Bot. Mag. 51. 2475. Flowers 
highly coloured, sepals much wider, lower petal
