AMARYLLIDACEiE. 
to Dr. Lindley’s memorandum, has the faucial appendages 
inconspicuous. I apprehend that means only not discernible 
in the dry specimen, where, however, they would be likely 
to elude the search. 
G. Herbertiana, — Bot. Reg. 16. 1341. Leaves narrow, 
obtuse ; limb slender, very little attenuated, pale 
red, equal to the filaments, shorter than the style ; 
faucial membrane, according to Professor Lindley, 
annular, fimbriated. From Cumbre, a pass be- 
tween Valparaiso and St. Jago, four or five inches 
below the surface. The soil adhering to the im- 
ported bulbs is said to have been black, but I 
should advise caution in the use of peat for any 
Phycella in a pot. 
7. Brevituba. — Perianthum If unciale, basi annulari, 
vix tubatum, infundibuliforme, rubrum, intus 
luteo-striatum ; stylus perianthium et filamenta 
superans ; filamenta pallida apice rubra, petalina 
limbum subsequantia ; processus fauciales sex, k 
unciales, tenuiter subulati ; folia semunciam vel 
ultra lata. Perianth 1 inch and f, red, yellow- 
streaked within, tube scarcely more than annular, 
style exceeding the limb and filaments ; filaments 
pale tipped with red, the petaline nearly equalling 
the limb. Introduced into this country by Mr. 
Knight, of the King’s Road, Chelsea, from Chili. 
It is remarkable from the tube being nearly obsolete. 
8. Bicolor. — Amar. bicolor. Flor. Peruv. 2. 57. Leaves 
ensiform, umbel 6-12-flowered ; peduncles brac- 
teate ; perianth sub-campanulate, 1^ inch long ; 
tube short ; segments straight, a little patent at 
the end, lanceolate, red with green tips ; filaments 
straight, shorter than the perianth ; two-horned 
scales at the base of the segments. According to 
Molina (Saggio, p. 129) the scape is flattened and 
two-edged, two feet high, flowers four, red outside, 
yellow often marked with red inside ; segments 
rounded ; leaves many, channelled, obtuse. Bico- 
lor is unquestionably a Phycella from Peru. Mo- 
lina’s plant is from Chili ; and as he does not 
mention the green colour, it is very questionable 
whether his plant was the Bicolor of Ruiz, espe-
