scape, longer spathe, and filaments greatly longer 
than those of kermesinus. The leaves are wanting.

0. Intermedius. — Am. intermedia. Bot. Reg. 14. 1148. 
Ex Brazilia. Leaves bright green, obtuse, ~ wide; 
scape green (six inches?) peduncles f to If, green; 
perianth about 2 inches, patent, red, greenish 
yellow below ; style and filaments as in Nemoralis. 
A much more expanded and differently coloured 
flower. 
7. Spathaceus. — Spatha univalvi, latere fisso, floribus 
magnis purpureis. Spathe one-valved, slit on one 
side ; flowers large purple ; leaves green. 
Var. 1. Leaves broader, flowers larger. 
Var. 2. Angustus. — Bot. Mag. 53. 2639. Leaves green, 
narrow, spathe one-valved, slit on one side to the 
base, tube green, limb, style, and filaments purplish 
red ; segments narrow. In all points narrower 
than spathaceus. V. 1. Membrane annular. 
8. Blfidus. — Bot. Mag. 52. 2597. Spathe 2-valved, 
2^ inches long, green ; scape green ; flowers four, 
2 inches long, purplish red, darker and lined with 
green below. Membrane annular. 
Var. 2. Litoralis. — Specim. ex Monte Video. Tweedie, 
Herb. Hooker. Spatha bifida 5-flora, perian. satur. 
purpureo ; absque foliis. Spathe bifid 5-flowered, 
perianth deep purple; without leaves. Plentiful 
within tide-mark at Monte Video. Tweedie writes 
that the leaves are like those of Nerine venusta, 
commonly called Guernsey lily, but they are pro- 
bably not so wide. This may, perhaps, be the 
plant formerly named by me lorifolius, from Mal- 
donado, which has never flowered here, and, as I 
cannot ascertain whether it is distinct from all 
Tweedie’s specimens, it becomes necessary to drop 
the name, at least for the present. The bulbs, so 
named, increase fast by offsets, and elongate them- 
selves very much, appearing to strive to get deep 
under ground, and, I believe, they will not flower 
while the bulb is elongated. I am now trying 
various modes of culture to bring it to a flowering- 
state. Litoralis growing within tide-mark may 
require salt.
